13 is an unlucky number? I don't think so.


After failing for 12 times, i finally see some results on my batch 13 macarons. Yes! I see feet!!!!! Yippee! Hurray!!! I was so happy and could not believe my eyes when i saw those feet. It was very unexpected. Because when i was folding in the ingredients, i found the batter was very dry, so i thought that's it, i am going to fail again. Nevertheless, i still continue with the whole process. After piping, i let them rest for 1 hour than send for baking. And 9 minutes later, when i opened the oven door, i was shocked and very surprised.

I wouldn't say that was successful. Because for this batch of macarons, only 25% with feet and almost 50% of the whole batch have cracks on top. But no matter how, i was very pleased with the outcome, because that was very unexpected and i had never seen any feet on my last 12 batches before. So these little feet were really some consolation to me. At least it gave me some hopes to continue with my macaron battle.. **Grin**

I will try again tomorrow and see if this was luck or i might have got the technique right.
