Yours look absolutley gorgeous, fluffy, crunchy, tasty and I wouldn't even mind, if they had no foot. But they are perfect! Thank you for the good explanation how to make them. I will look at Amazon for this book and then I can bake them by myself. Whenever I want them and this will be often. You made me laughing with the anouncement, but hey, you can really be proud of yourself. Hurray for the perfect macarons.<br />Best greetings, JohannaJohanna Gehrleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027107843903985667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-70194507438466730472012-01-30T15:59:23.984-05:002012-01-30T15:59:23.984-05:00Oh my, what fun!

Congratulations, Angela, you are now among the legion of brave pasty chefs who have attempted and triumphed making the Holy Grail of confections!! I salute you. <br />I have been making them for about two years now and was inspired by my trip to Laduree in London a few years ago. Once you eat these, you are hooked. Try rose flavored ones the next time. They are divine. <br /><br />Also Superfine sugar is also called caster sugar and can be found online and at cake and confectionary equipment stores. You can use a food processor to grind granulated sugar if you don't have another type of grinder. If the humidity is high, it can be difficult to get "feet" on your macarons. I usually make them during the Winter months.<br />Kudos to you for making these fabulous treats.amherstrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770869900528472512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-66447530973015970132012-01-30T09:18:42.532-05:002012-01-30T09:18:42.532-05:00I am very impressed, Angela!!

I have 2 books about macarons, but couldn't find the courage to make them until today!<br /><br />Your macarons look fabulous and I'm sure they taste delicious!
