Wow all into macaroons.
Me also curious how it is baked, hence tried out my first attempt. FAILED. hahahaha
Same as Cat, I find the taste is good lei, chewy too. But totally flat. hee Lucky behind not hollow. Using parchment paper veri hard to remove. Lucky use the tip from PINK.
So Pink, what went wrong???? Can you tell?

n2inpink,
wow... you really made a lot of food during weekend... looks so yummy... your cakes very nice...
I think I'll store the figurine in fridge if I can successfully make it... I'll heed your advise and make it 1 week ahead. Btw, if I put the figurine on a cream covered cake, can stick to it? or I need to insert stick in both figurine and cake as my figurine will be a standing one (ideally)... btw, I watched a few video clip about making figurine... some use a toothstick to connect the head and body, some don't... which is better?

Hi Pink,
I don't think its fair for me to publish the recipe as classes for it are still on at Shermay's. However, I can share with you all this website http://www.rimag.com/article/CA6521518.html
You don't have to follow the Ispahan assembly. Just make the macaroons without adding the colouring..... and add vanilla extract instead.

hi jacelyn,
thks for your kind words...
for 1st bday? hm.......
what you comfortable with? b'cream? whipping/fresh cream? fondant?
if b'cream or fresh cream, you can use sponge cake.
if fondant, then u need madaira cake.
if you don't want to waste time in decorating or doing figurine.
perhaps you can use fresh cream, then deco it with fruits, that's really save time
let me know what is your comfort level, then i'll try my best to guide you.
Pls bear in mind i'm only an amateur, not a pro chef, my advise might be not really the right way for real chef

Eliz,
last week i saw PH simei hv stock for black color. perhaps u can give them acall.
snowbelle,
hehehe! thks for your kind words
figurine not advisable put inside the fridge wor, scared will effect the texture if you put too long.
perhaps juz put at the room temperature, you got any corner more cooling side?
janiviy,
thks for the link.... looks very chim
perhaps will try, so many step hor?
wow, u from shermay school leh.. then very expert in macs liao.... then your advise is more than $20 worth... kekeke!

cos i never attend any class, so really rely on trial and error.
yes, i understand you can't release the recipe at here, it's a courtesy, infact, i respect your decision
again, thks ya?
what is your advise on my pink "failed" macs?
to me, seems like underbake, but the taste no doubt, when i put into mouth, can melt.
u have any idea why got feet but hollow inside?
last nite i tried pink macs again, using silpat, the result is excellent.
the last round failed macs, i'm using silicon mat.
haiyoo.... can't wait for my silpat to arrived !!!!

hi ladies..
long time no post here..very nice to see all the delicious 'fruits' here.. especially the macaroons..is it a must to get the silamat to bake macaroons? Can use only baking paper?
i bake bread over the long weekend but why mind dun rise very high after 2 hrs? Can i ask a few qns to the shifu here.. can advise me..
1) Can open the cloth when proofing bread?
2) The clingwrap actually stick on the dough, when i carefully remove it, the dough actually collapse abit. i guess i disturb the proofing process, after that the dough dun rise anymore higher.
i have put in some pics in my blog.. any shifu here can advise me?

iadji,
thks for your kind words.... hope u coping well with your kids
muffin (cupcake),
barney head made from madeira cake, then crumb coated with b'cream. all edible.
how are u? your princess still jelous with baby?
maruolin,
yes, to me, matcha macs is not easy to achieve, perhaps 'cos i'm amateur with macs.
perhaps PENG can handle? we never know mah.
muffin, joanne,
i kpo? i think last time i get it at S$19.90
but hor, now the issue is, phased out liao... dunno how is the price, let's wait for jsmum to advise us.
js'mum,

lucky i got 1 liao.... very useful, especially if i want to sift the almond ground.... less than 5mnts done!
then when i wanna make MMF, gotta sift the icing sugar to make sure no lump.... use tupperware is the fastest lor....
then very easy to wash also.
phased out oredi, i've to treasure it liao.
elaine77,
for me, i'll still prefer silpat mat rather then silicon mat. the macs "butt" will be beautiful and easier to handle.
for bread, i do open the cloth when proofing bread, ofcourse once in awhile lar... dun open every 5minutes.
pls check your yeast and make sure is not expired?
did your bread content salt? if so, it might be another story liao....
