I still haven't mastered the perfect macaron, but I am loving and learning a lot from the Facebook community. Thanks for all the videos and tips. I'll keep working at it!
Thnx for all your videos ☺️ I add my powder color to my egg whites before I whip, let it sit for 15 min and they turn out beautiful! Also, I only use ~1/16 of tsp.
You have major Max Black (from 2Broke Girls) vibes and I love it xD Thank you for those awesome tips! I made Macarons for the first time yesterday, and they turned out pretty great, so I wanna try working with food coloring next :3
I've tried to do darker navy blue macs and I used too much of it to wear it is bitter, oopsie! Should I use the powdered coloring only or a mix of gel/powder to achieve the deep color? Should I add cocoa powder to the blue to deepen it?
SO you say we can add abit of cocoa powder to get darker shades of colours, but wouldn't our shells then taste of cocoa? let's say we want to fill them with raspberry filling! My second question is when do you split your white batter for different colours ? After how many folds? thank you
Hi Michellle thanks for your time and sharing. I have requested to join the facebook community a few weeks but not had a response could it have been missed? thank you :)
Almost 15 minutes and you never mention which coloring works best with which meringue type? I came hoping to hear what is best in the marzipan stage of an Italian macaron. I’m assuming powder. I agree that liquid isn’t a good choice but then neither is counting folds. Room temperature, humidity level, quantity of ingredients, and so many things cause changes in the batter and one is better off knowing what consistency to reach by eye and feel rather than a count of how many folds.
What's your favorite kind of food coloring for macarons?

Also, I've tried your macaron recipe twice with success. 😊
Your hair!!! wow!! I was recommended to add the color to the syrup while is getting to temperature, because it will evaporate the added moisture.
I've found it best to add a heaped tablespoon of gel paste color to the sugar syrup, that way it doesn't affect the consistency of the macaron.

Sometimes I use matcha, Beetroot powder or cocoa and the result is quite nice. Not so shiny but they look OK.

Love my Master Elites and I also use the Americolor
I want to make dark hunter green color and I afraid I might screw them up.

Would it be ok to add just a pinch of almond extract to the batter
Yeah I think so. Especially if you've already had success with the macaron shells. 😀
@@MichellesMacarons hey in mostly icings or fondants only gel colors are used so when liquid food colors are used??

Don't use a water based food colouring, like Colour Mill!!
