Baking is a delicate process. Even if you follow a recipe to a tee, things don't always go according to plan. While baking or cooking fail may bring people down, I'm sharing my experience with you and wanted to let you know that sometimes this happens and it's normal. When baking goes wrong, all you have to do is embrace yourself and learn from your mistake!
This is my second time making French Macarons after more than a year and I have failed!! My first time was way much better than this. I dont have the proof but I still remember that my macarons didn't crack like these ones. Most of the macarons that I've just made cracked. I followed the same recipe as the previous one but the result is different. My guess is the oven (I've got a different oven from the previous one) or I overmixed the batter.
There are few macarons that are in a good shape. I filled the good ones with chocolate hazelnut spread because I didn't want to make any buttercream or any other filling. I kind of had a feeling that it wouldn't turn out well :-D I guess I have to gather a good and positive thinking before baking.
Despite its not-so-beautiful appearance, the macarons taste good, with or without filling. I have to remake it soon and hopefully, my next macarons will turn out beautiful. In the mean time, I have to finish this batch first.
And you? What is your cooking or baking fail? How do you react? Tell me in the comment if you want to share your experience as well.
Thank you everyone for reading. Have a nice week ahead!
