When Adriano Zumbo launched his bake at home range late last year, I swiftly acquired the entire range thanks to my lovely mum who knows how much I love to bake and how much I love Zumbo. In the past half a year, I've made 3 out of the 4 that were part of the original launch and lo and behold, there's another 2 which have launched in the past month! For those that follow Mashi, you would've read her post here as the two of us had a crack at the salted caramel macarons late last year.
A most pretty array of Adriano Zumbo's bake at home range.
Fun on a Friday evening.
Patiently piping our shells in the hope of some macaron feet.
Look at the determination in Mashi's face in this photo!
First batch that came out of the oven - some came out a little crackly but other's came out with feet. I did my happy dance at this point.
Not so great to start with...
But perfect macarons we have here!
Unfortunately these macarons look better than they taste. Despite leaving them to sit overnight in the fridge, they were airy to the taste and just didn't have the crunch and chewiness you'd expect of a macaron. And for salted caramel macarons, these came out rather orange!
Instructions are definitely easy to follow but you'll need to set aside a good 2-3 hours from start to finish to make this batch of about 20 filled macarons. Makes you appreciate the ones you buy outside; suddenly they don't seem so expensive after all when you consider all the effort that goes into making the two discs and a filling that comprise that one macaron. Anyway, have yet to try the Passionfruit macarons and I hear part of the new launch is one more macaron flavour; hopefully they work out a bit better taste-wise!

haha it was good fun baking that night. I have since tried their brownies and it's quite yum too.
i find macarons need 3-5 days maturation, they are never great the day after..looks fun ! :)
