Making perfect macarons is my baking goal for this year. My first attempt was sloppy though.. The oven temperature became too hot (and I was not checking my macarons every so often) that the coveted feet just exploded under the body. I salvaged it by cutting of the ugly feet, it made me more determined to create a perfect batch of macarons.

I made these macarons using the French technique. I am planning to do the Italian meringue technique, but I do not have a candy thermometer just yet. Anyone willing to donate, let me know!

Presenting, my second attempt on macaron making! Success!
