We are going to war. That’s right. War. What war? A macaron war! Get ready.. Get set.. Let’s go!
Ground almonds, icing sugar & coffee powder, ARE YOU READY?!
Egg whites ARE YOU READY?! Now BEAT IT! (LOL)
Okay, ready!
Dry & wet ingredients, fall in together! Get moving people, flow flow flow!
Macaron soldiers, line up!
Prepare your armour! Chocolate & cream!
Attttennnnntion! ON YOUR FEET MACARON SHELLS!
Looks like we're ready for war.
This is my cousin, assisting us with today's war.
She says “Are you taking a picture for your blog? Okay okay okay!”
Load up soldiers!
Got your ammo? Alright guys, Chargeeeeeee!
OH NO WE'RE HITTTT! ONE SOLDIER IS BLEEDING!
The war had a tragic end. All the macaron soldiers bled, and died.
HAHA okay, i know i’m being lame. Hahahaha. Anyway. I used the same recipe! Just that i replaced the cocoa powder with instant coffee powder which is food processed, because they are rather coarse! I brushed the insides of the shells with rum. Other that the maraschino cherry in the middle, rum and the coffee powder, everything is the same!
So far, i had all good reviews 😀 You guys have fun okay! I will try to keep up with my baking. Because school reopens this week 😦 And.. I’m falling sick, again. Ah bugger.

I was just making a large researche on making macarons, ’cause I’m going to do my first atempt with them this weekend >.< I'm preparing myself to fail xD no, no, I'm thinking everything would be ok, hoping that my thoughts came true xD
I'm so nervous!! And your balck forest macarons look delicious! I'm not making them this time, since I have all chances of failling XD but once I bake perfect macarons I will surely try it.

Oh my, that looks absolutely delicious!
thank you veron 🙂
big fan of your macarons though i’ve never tasted them 😛
blood makes me squeamish, so i guess if i’d just have to devour these macarons whole and avoid seeing the blood… 🙂
hahahaha! good one grace 😛
What a cute post! And a great idea for macarons too, though I’d probably blaspheme and go for a raspberry in the middle, since I’m not big on cherries 😛 Oh, and your cousin looks too happy for a war! 😀
not a cherry fan either 😦 i only like dark cherries!
but those cherries make them blackforest 😛
heh yeah raspberry! ispahan next time, maybe 🙂
heehee yes, and im sure many would be happy for this war too!
Felicia, thats fantastic….what a good old war story LOLOL..its on my must try list now..tq
