I made macarons for the first time, and it was fun! Since three egg whites were still in the fridge after baking cookies, I had decided to try this French neat sweets. Result? I think it turned out pretty good. But, thing is that I have never eaten “real” macarons (“real” means by “store-bought,” in this case). So, I really don’t know how the texture or taste should be as a French macaron. It tasted good, though. I made almond butterscotch cream, but I didn’t have exact recipe for it. So, it took forever to become like “cream.” I guess I put too much heavy cream in it, or I was just inpatient to wait for cream to get thicker. I put cream on macarons and it was too soft. I made a mess not only kitchen but macaron itself. I wiped excess cream off after a little while and it looked O.K., but I need to remake sometime soon. I will probably make different cream, like cream cheese frosting, or something can be made quick.
