we made macaroons!

.
bigdeals coupon, macaroons making class for $28/pax, open area at level 4 Orchard Central organised by Aii.

the ingredients! it's a no-bake class, so the macaroon shells are ready made for us. kinda duh given that it is the shells that are the most difficult to make.

we were a little late for the class, but it's no biggie cuz smart Beefie can catch up easily. hahaha.

me pouring the chocolate bits into the mixing bowl to make ganache.

the macaroon fillings is unusual in the sense it is chocolate and not the usual oreo cream ish thingy that we see in the macaroons selling outside. no idea why.

instructor warms up the whipping cream for the whole class of about 15 pax. pour into the mixing bowl with the chocolate bits already inside, mix well.

while cooling the ganache, we decorated the macaroon shells with food spray and pen! those are mine! yes that is a Chanel logo that i drew, obviously not a gifted artist. wahahahaha.

Beefie decorating his mackies.

now plopping the ganache onto one shell and kiap-ing it with the other.

TADAH! closeup of one of my decorated mackie. haha.

closeup of Beefie's mackies. he's apparently not very good at decorating either, broke the shells a lil cuz he drew too hard. lols.

us with our macaroons of labour! haha.

honestly expensive class to be just making chocolate sauce and kiap-ing it with shells, but it's affiliated to charity so take it as doing a good cause! oh and we bumped into my junior Kai Yuen + gf at the class too, so it's like a good couple-bonding class lah haha.
