All ingredients are 100% organic and gluten-free!
The only ingredients you need to rummage for are 50g egg whites (2 medium eggs) and 50ml double cream. Easy.
Fast forward to piping circular disks of the mixture onto the macaron baking mat and my inexperience made itself known; for future reference I'd take more care of shaping them more like traditional macarons, featuring flatter dimensions and a wider circumference. Nevertheless, there was no time to wallow as the tasty ganache (using Samina's provided 61% organic raw dark chocolate) was in need of preparation! This was another new experience for me and one that went as smoothly as you can imagine thanks to the detailed recipe book - speaking of which, it's definitely something i'll be filing away to keep forevermore!
Fill your feeds with pastel-coloured macarons and impressive wedding cake designs by following Mon Dessert on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Plus, Samina from Mon Dessert is now on Youtube - check out her first video below, you'll adore her!
Although I could have demolished them there and then (and believe me, I wanted to), Samina recommends enjoying them 24 hours later. Having compared the two, in my opinion they taste one million times better the next day - the organic raw chocolate, in particular. If kept refrigerated, the kit's macarons can be enjoyed for up to 5 days, though I'm

Having tried this Macaron Making Kit c/o by Mon Dessert for myself, I'm not at all surprised it's also sold by Fortnum & Mason; consider it a (rather luxurious) stamp of approval. My first attempt at making macarons went far more smoothly than I was anticipating thanks to Samina's kit, and speaking as a chocolate-fanatic, I've definitely got my fix!

Well done on your first attempt making macarons! I failed badly twice, as I used liquid colouring for the shells and apparently you're meant to use colouring paste instead as the liquid upsets the dough too much. It is quite a skill so well done!

Well done and they looked awesome! I love baking, but I never tried making macarons yet. One of these days I'll make one :)
ReplyDeleteThese look so yummy, i am a fan of ur baking skills!! the apron is very pretty and u look very pretty in it!

These look amazing. I totally understand how proud you must have been after making them. I once went to macaron making class. Although my macarons were far from perfect, I felt a sense of accomplishment.
ReplyDeletewww.mydailywear.co.uk
That looks perfect to me. I like them! So cute! Great job gabrielle!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! And oh, we should be friends. I love sweets.
ReplyDeleteOh those macarons look delicious!! And the gold dust is the perfect finishing touch. I've never attempted to make macarons on myself because I heard they were a bit tricky, but I love the fact that this recipe book came with such precise intructions. Last but not least, the photography on this post is stunning as usual. <3

Sponge cake? Beginners? What! Sponge cake is so damn hard to master Gabrielle, I think you need to elevate your baking status to PRO! And attempting macarons. Even if they're in a kit, yes, PRO status indeed! <3

Your macarons turned out fabulously Gabrielle! The gold dust is such a nice detail. I always assumed macarons would be difficult to make but it seems like this kit really helps to walk you through the process. And how cool that the ingredients are organic. I could see this being a lovely gift for yourself or others.
ReplyDeleteThese are such pretty bakes, dear! Love the entire kit especially the gold dust. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful Gabrielle. This kit certainly makes it a lot easier to make beautiful macarons. I've only handmade macarons a couple times and both times were quite tedious without mini moulds. I love that pretty much everything is provided for you in the helpful kit. Have a lovely week! x/Madison
ReplyDeleteI enjoy baking quite a lot, but was always too scared to try macarons. That kit sounds perfect.

I am so impressed with your macarons! They turned out perfectly. I am loving the kit, it is so cute!
ReplyDeleteAsh | Liakada
How cool that you had the chance to make macarons on your own? I thought it's a difficult process, but it seems that it is feasible even at home. Love how you made them, although they are not perfectly shaped, they do look soooo delicious. I had no idea you have to wait 1 day to consume them at their finest, that's an interesting fact. Sounds like a lovely book!

This Macaron Making Kit sounds like a pretty sweet thing to have. I love how that little kit includes both the ingrediants we need for making macarons (all gluten free and natural- that's a great plus as well) and the actual recipe with illustrations. I think this little recipe book looks very cute too! Such a clean design.
ReplyDeleteBack to baking...your macarons look divine. I'm sure they taste as wonderful as they look. You also look fabulous with an apron...a natural beauty!!!! like those lovely flowers on your kitchen table.

wow!! so much glitter and chocolate in one post! I am so loving this, even though I am not a huge fan of macarons, to be honest, but no harm staring at these gorgeous visuals of yours, haha *_^
ReplyDeleteI totally love the apron! The reason I don't quite fancy them is that they are often too sweet for my preference. But I was told by a friend that actually "real" macarons from Paris or overseas taste really good and way better than those we have here in malaysia. haha I will just have to take her words for it till I taste one in the future.
Looks like you had a blast whisking up the recipe! Too bad you had devoured all of them in two days, or else, I would have asked you to send some along over to me, please dearie. haha
Have a lovely week, Gabrielle *_^
