Bake Happy Friday Round Up

1. Sebastian's Artisanal Ice Cream's Cookie Dough Duo. I think the photo says it all, don't you think? This is one of their Chilly Burger Flavors. They also have Red Velvet ice cream cookie which I intend to try. Stat!

2. I made Sans Rival for you this week. Alternating layers of crispy meringue and oh so velvety sans rival icing, covered in nuts. Nuts. All. Over. Have I convinced you yet? Here's the recipe.

3. And oh. Have you joined Bake Happy's first ever giveaway for the year? If you haven't, join now!

4. And now for this Round Up's Highlight!!!

Let me present to you, Bake Happy's Macaron Making Chronicles!

Shortly after (and by shortly after, I mean just hours after) I made my first ever macarons. I tried again. This time playing around... errr, I mean experimenting with the factors. This time, I didn't age my egg whites and even upped the amount of the whites. The result, it just spread too thinly so here's the second batch. I just spread it all out and cut into squares. Not my proudest moment. I know. Tastes great though!

 But I tried again. Third batch - I got excited. I mean too excited I piped overly lots of macarons in a sheet. Uh oh! Trouble here. See? It seems the macarons want nothing more than to hold hands. I had to scrap and do it all over again. 

Ahhh... this one's much better! :) Ohhh, bubbles!!! Lots of it!

Too bad, my temp was too high I burnt my macarons!!! Batch 3, still a fail. But hey, the macarons got skin that's not cracked and its got feet! Getting there right? 

Have a great weekend, everyone! :)
