Macarons

After 4 attempts in making macarons, I finally got it right yesterday. But by 'got it right' means still-ugly-looking-with-variety-of-shapes-hollow-here-and-there-but-taste-so-yummy.

I didn't want to do the typical macaron with chocolate ganache. So I made chocolate ganache and also caramel. By the way, this is the first time I got the caramel right after 3 attempts (One was so harden that I can't even bite it, one was so weird that the butter totally seperated from the caramel and one was burnt. Typical)

Lets guess what type of macaron I made.

This was layered with caramel, chocolate ganache and peanuts.

Can you guess it ?

Just to let you know, the macarons are not for sale.........yet. I'll be selling it when I get the perfect shape and texture. Practice practice practice.

Or unless if you don't mind having variety of shapes, so yes you can order. Big, small, and some are even oval shape. Teehee. (I love to watch Nigahiga. If you don't know who's Nigahiga, go and watch him on youtube)

I think only this 4 sets of macarons (in the picture above) that the shapes are the same. Others were just, well, ugly. Enough said. (But still will be destroyed in the stomach, right ? Hehe.)

Ouh yes, I forgot to tell you what type of macaron it is.

It's Snickers macaron.

Taste exactly like Snickers. (My all time favourite chocolate)

"Macaron. Spelled with one o and pronounced like macaroni… without the i sound. I’ve also seen people spell them macaroons. But they shouldn’t be confused with coconut macaroons. These have a smooth rounded outer shell and flat bottom with what’s called 'feet.' "

Thank You, Beautiful People

These are the cookies that were sold at the bazaar (Subang Parade and Sunway College).
And yes, I'm addicted to henna designs. But I can't really do like those very fine henna designs. Just simple ones.

I want to say thank you soooo much for those who bought my cookies. (And hoping that you visit my blog ;p). Hope you love the cookies and tell your friends and family about it. You're the greatest. xoxo.

I am officially annoyed with the lighting while I took these pictures.

And I'm really bad at editing.

Need to buy a proper mini studio box. But it's so expensive.

No no no. Just stick with the DIY studio box.

Nevermind. Ignore.

Teehee.

Snapshots

Just some pictures my family and I took of my works using

 mobile phones, Ipad, small camera, big camera, instax, etc.

So anyway, just want to tell you that I would looooove to see pictures of you with cookies, cupcakes, cakes that I made. And definitely love to publish them here (If you don't mind la).

You can give me snapshots of the goodies that I made. Whether it is captured using your mobile phone, DSLR, poloroid or just any camera. I'll post it here at my blog.

Just send them to my e-mail. prettysugar2010@gmail.com

Can't wait ;)

Happy Eid ul-Fitr to all.

I humbly ask for forgiveness from everyone for my wrongdoings.

We are all human beings that are bound to make mistakes.

So lets forgive one another and just be happy.

I hope everyone is enjoying their Raya so far.

Sorry for the late 'raya' speech.
