I'm so glad your macarons had nice big feet :)!<BR/>The raspberry macarons are a show-stopper for most people who have never had one before. I too have experimented with tons of recipes and this is my standby. Most recipes don't tell you to touch the shells to test for tackiness...I just figured that out on my own. They usually give you a time-frame to leave it out but that doesn't take into account the humidity of various climates. So, I'm glad that little tip helped you too! You can play around with this recipe in so many ways! I'm looking forward to seeing your pics!Cakebrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105616222969699846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202234701285349376.post-85803424477680946812009-02-22T13:58:00.000-08:002009-02-22T13:58:00.000-08:00Dear Cakebrain:i followed your raspberry macarons ...Dear Cakebrain:<BR/><BR/>i followed your raspberry macarons recipe to the tee, after making a fairly successful chocolate batch via David Liebovitz and another slightly less successful almond with caramel de fleur du sel via A La Cuisine. The macarons following your methodology of leaving the rounds out before baking until the outside was not even a little tacky yielded by far the best foot on my cookies. I also think I became more skilled at knowing when to stop folding. For those reasons, these came out beautiful and I cannot wait to serve them to my guests this evening! Please check in on my blog in a few days to see some lovely pics! Thanks so much for posting!Food, she thought.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04510492084023508648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202234701285349376.post-32085003004953148422009-02-15T20:56:00.000-08:002009-02-15T20:56:00.000-08:00Foodforthought,Well, the functional reason for the...Foodforthought,<BR/>Well, the functional reason for the buttercream is to hide the jam filling so that it is a "surprise" when you bite into it. If you don't like buttercream, just use jam. The wonderful thing about macarons is you can put anything between the two shells: ganache, fresh fruit, jam or jelly, curd, chocolate, buttercream or ice cream! Do whatever pleases you!Cakebrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105616222969699846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202234701285349376.post-50245057846685097242009-02-15T09:40:00.000-08:002009-02-15T09:40:00.000-08:00Is there a functional reason for using the butterc...Is there a functional reason for using the buttercream frosting around the jam?

If you don't see your comment published, it's not because I deleted them but because blogger zapped them into the etherworld and now I don't know how to get them back. I'm sorry I couldn't reply or visit you because I never really did get to see them long enough to catch who commented.Cakebrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105616222969699846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202234701285349376.post-31387215861496181872008-11-22T08:35:00.000-08:002008-11-22T08:35:00.000-08:00That is mighty gorgeous macarons!
