Snow White

Last weekend, I made some marshmallow macarons. Half to sell and half for my friends. I decided to put a twist on how I normally do them and use my new titanium dioxide powder at the same time.
Usually I make pink shells with a pink filling but this time they were white shells and pink filling. The titanium dioxide powder works as a white pigment in cooking. Along the way I was hesitant about wether it would work or not but it did and I was left with what I was hoping for.

It's Official

Last week I was asked if I would be able to bake some chocolate orange macarons for the year 12 hospitality students as decoration for the dessert they were making for their restaurant. They only needed half a batch so I decided to sell the rest through my Aunty Sarah at her work. I was very happy with the colour I got in the shells and they have improved a lot since my first try all those many months ago.
