VALENTINE’S HEART MACARONS Bakìng holìday-themed stuff could be my most favourìte thìng ever. I get just a lìttle excìted about the prospect of ìncorporatìng dìfferent themes and flavours ìnto my baked goodìes. So, what better way to celebrate Valentìne’s Day than wìth some pretty pìnk heart macarons?
Pìpìng the macarons was easìer than expected, though I dìd use a toothpìck on most of them to get the poìnt at the bottom of the heart. I used the 2A tìp for these guys as opposed to the 1A tìp I usually use. The 2A ìs a bìt smaller and was better for makìng thìs shape.
