Im in love with macaron Aesthetics. They just look so bougie. 😅🤣. How's everyone's macaron baking going. What are we making today?

Although I’m not fully satisfied with my results yet—mainly because of my terrible uneven oven—I just wanted to say thank you!😊 I’m still new to baking macarons. I’ve been researching them for about a year, but only now did I finally feel ready to give them a try. I’ve spent a lot of time going through recipes from well-known bakers, and to be fair, most of them wasn’t successful. Any method simply didn’t work, neither Italian. 😬 I felt like I’d never reach it. But something deep inside me kept saying that I should keep trying, then I saw your post on TikTok and I ended up here! I also purchased some expensive e-books and courses, which, honestly, I regret buying and seeing my bank statement: they weren’t worth it. Same method but WAY TOO FAR from all this gold here! So, @Crystal Arvelo , I just wanted to thank you for sharing your experience and recipe. I know it can sometimes feel like people only show up on internet to complain when something goes wrong with their macarons, not throwing shade, just speaking generally about the macaron community anywhere, but even so, I truly appreciate your help, especially since you do it so generously without charging anything. I sincerely hope that God or whatever you believe in blesses you and brings you prosperity. You have brought hope to so many people here. I may not be a professional baker but I know others people here are, and your help has probably made a real difference for them. I just felt it was necessary and well deserved to pass by and say thanks. 💜

I tried again tonight and I got those full shells!🤩 But war isnt over yet 🥲 please HELP! 🆘 my oven is a big problem right now: 1) I need to set dial to 180/190°C to achieve the 160°C as recipe suggests. Nonetheless it runs down to 150°C 2) GOLDING FEET and SHELLS! Even that I am currently working with the oven around 150°C they are baking too fast! At 7 min the shells are already set and done, wiggle test is perfect. But the dough may stick for some macs but mainly all others are getting golden feet! Furthermore, the shells browned little bit with second batch! 😭 I use a light pink batter, I used same setting for darker color and it was okay… 3) WRINKLES. This morning I tried again to make half single batch and all of my Macs wrinkled! The last batch tonight had same issue. I’ve noticed one thing: they both were oven drying under 100°C. May that be the reason? I’m really unsatisfied with my oven. Seems I need to wait until the temp hits the peak back, because I’ll work it open doors. Pleas, share some tips and ideas! 😭
