My friend Helen had us over for dumplings this past weekend, and I wanted to make macarons for dessert since I know that she loves them. I decided to make pink macarons to match her pink-decorated Christmas tree!
Since I was going with pink, the obvious filling would be my fresh strawberry buttercream! And I was excited to try making macarons again, as I was disappointed that my first attempt didn't end up with much of the beautiful ruffly bottoms, known as "feet". This time I reduced the temperature a little bit (from 350 F to 325 F). The resulting macarons had a little more feet than the first try, but still not what I was looking for.
You are amazing Michele! I will definitly be following your blog...beautiful pics too! ~kris

Hello! I love how your macarons look =). This weekend I had a request to make strawberry macarons. I wanted it to look a pretty light pink color. Mine turned out a dull pink/almost mauve like color. I used Americolor Burgundy - 1 drop only. It looks really good unbaked, but when I baked at 325F, the pretty pink did not show. Could you please share how to make a bright light pink outcome? Thank you!
