Project Macaron #2



If it's one thing that I can't seem to get right, it is colouring the macarons! I've tried the method of adding the gel colour to the sugar syrup. Judging by the amount I had used and the shade it was I thought I would at least get a light orange shade but no I was wrong. It came out more light caramel than orange.

Back to the drawing board.

Before I forget to introduce the macaron - it's supposed to be an orange coloured macaron with chocolate passionfruit ganache in the middle. The ganache is a keeper although this won't be something I would be making too often as the passionfruit cost me $14!

I managed to work out the consistency of the batter so my macarons turned out 'perfect' rounds.

My colleague lent me her macaron sheet and so I just had to try it out. Conclusion - Easy to use!
