MACARONS, MACARONS & MORE MACARONS

I have been busy over the last few months perfecting the macaron.
In fact it became a bit of an obsession. It all started before Xmas when I attempted to make some as a garnish for one of my Xmas desserts, foolishly thinking that I had mastered the evil little cookie.
Well, the more I tried, the more I failed, so I ditched them until after Xmas and went back to the drawing board.
Now I beleive I have mastered the little brutes, having made a variety of colours and flavours, all turning out beautifully., to the point where I am thinking of making and selling them.
Flavours I have perfected are:

Licorice
Strawberry
Cherry
Banana
Peppermint
Chilli Chocolate
Peanut butter Ganache
Salted caramel ganache

The three flavours I am currently working on are popcorn, bubblegum or gumball and pear walnut and blue cheese.

In the meantime here are some photos to look at
