Macaroon

Recently there is a trend on the Internet where u can get huge discount on an products or services if there are a minimum number of buyers to hit the deal and you will be able to get the wholesales price which is cheaper than the retail price. I always like to check it one or two days and see what they will offer, is really a steal.

I found a deal in Bigdeal which is what i want to blog on this post, Macaroon.


This deal actual cost $28 but i only paid $22 as i have the credit to deduce $6 off .
Me and LY decided to sign up and try as the both of us are interested in baking.
After the course, i would said not worth it.
It was conducted at the Orchard Central Mall open area which is not a baking class room.
I can hardly heard what the lady is trying to talk about because is held at a opening area and she didn't use a microphone to make it louder.

I thought that we will be learning how to make macaroon from the stretch but NO, the macaroon is already pre bake and done (on the left of the picture).



The entire course we just learn how to make the Ganache (on the right) and decorate the macaroon. The macaroon she gave us is only 8 pieces with a maracoon recipe handout.




I really disappoint with the course, even LY agree too.
I only ate one, is horrible sweet just the macaroon itself. I wonder how much sugar she added inside.
The rest i give it out to my friend and my HR lecturer.


Tip to note from the lecturer:
  • For baking always use fresh and quality Egg. Do not put the egg in the fridge, if u are intend to use it for baking as the weight will be different.
  • Do not wash the eggs 
  • Some of the eggs will have a white jelly thing inside it, remove from the egg and discut it.
  • Always use large eggs in recipes where egg size is not given
  • Copper or stainless steel bowl is best for whipping egg whites
