I work at a bakery, and macarons isn’t really our thing. We had only like two specific people making them, but they had to leave for like school n stuff. Now I had to make them and I was very scared lol, I’ve only done them once at home and failed. But I did them at work and they turned out good, or so I thought…
-The very first one I did at work was the blue one, my coworkers said they looked perfect. I thought it looked really good for my first time.
-Second one was the one with the filling, it tasted sooo good!
-I did a third and fourth one but didn’t get to take pictures
-Fifth one was the last two pictures, they’re early gray flavoured
*I do not flavour the cookie itself, I flavour the icing. I also use gel food dye when coloring the cookies, or cocoa powder.
They look good in my eyes, but i keep seeing stuff on pinterest on how it’s actually supposed to look like. Based on pinterest, it isn’t suppose to have those air pockets in the last picture. We live in a small town so no one really complains and our place is really the only good bakery here. I honestly just wing it when I do these cuz my coworkers still love em cuz they taste good. Sorry I wrote so long, help.

Earl gray ones – the gap is usually from them being underbaked/too low but overnight in the fridge will help mature them and that usually fills out. Would suggest using powdered food colouring instead of gel. They all look great nonetheless though this trend of letting shells cool on a wire rack is completely unnecessary and bizarre (not just you) – just cool them on the mat/tray.
