Ahhh sigh, bigger sigh. I would love to make a macaron petrified or not petrified without air pockets like yours. I have all but given up!

Hi, these macarons look amazing. I am completely obsessed with the little things myself. The other week I flew down to Melbourne to attend a day macaron class at Savour Chocolate and Patisserie school. I have decided March will be "macaron month" to encourage me to practice a few more methods and techniques. All your instructions and detail have been helpful so far. But do not be surprised to see more comments/questions from me!!! P.S. Like your idea of a foodbloggers get-together. Would love to do that in Brisbane.

Hi Duncan,
Your macaroons looked AMAZING! I'm a big fan of macarons myself. Been hearing that you made the best in town. I made some this christmas, so I know what a tricky little bugger they are to make. It's a shame that it's hard to find a good macaroons in VIC. tried Laurent & Cafe Vue, but they're just ordinary. Looking forward trying Noisette and La tropezienne

mmm.. wish I can taste yours.. simply stunning =)

Heh heh. I badly scorched a pan of caramel once, doing the same thing. It took at least a week or more of soaking and scraping to get it back to normal.

That all sounds like a very fancy way of saying you burnt the bums off your macarons :p

Nice to know it happens even to the best of us!!

The number of times I sit down for a quick bit of blogging while something is in the oven and quickly forget about my baked goods – I would be the charcoal queen if not for my oven timer!

Your macarons look quite amazing as it is not something I have tried

Hey, don't look at me! (Tleast not when you say that.) I only write once a week at the most! I always thought you called it L'Atelier Duncan I'm sure biscuit macaron sounds a tad more appealing. Than desiccated. Desiccated. We just talked about that!
