Over - mix!

There is a day when you should just stay on the bed, for me unfortunately it's happened today.

Must be over enthusiast about the new macaron that I suppose to make today. Over-mix can really spoil the macaron. I should have known..


.....Dear macaron, though you only have very visible tiny feet and almost flat, don't worry, we will still love eat you

Oh heck, this black sesame macaron still a delish eventhough it doesn't have feets or flat..the nutty taste of this little gems are excellent plus black sesame is good for health! It rich with magnesium, iron, calcium and also good to fight the cholesterol...
