Now why would you bake macarons as your first time baking anything? 😅

Macarons are definitely not an easy first bake, and you did great! I can see the sheen on the shells, some air bubbles (in a good way). These look superb for a first try! How do you feel about them?

its hard to explain but it was for something very specific so it had to be macarons. i dont regret it, it was very fun & they still tasted pretty good
