It's because we didn't have a spatula

The other night, a few friends from work came over and we attempted to make the ever so popular macaron. I read about it on Bakerella's blog (and several others). Ting had a book and had attempted before. I even aged the egg whites for 24 hours to room temperature.
See? We are ready! We have crown and cokes! Essential for baking - duh!
Ting, happily whisking.
CShells is in charge of the meringue.
Mbeezy was the measuring star (and photographer - thanks for the pics)!
Team work!
Blue hands!
Break for pizza! (That's in the recipe somewhere)
Mmmm...they look good! They are suppose to have the "feet" at the bottom like that.
We felt golden.
Posing for pics! (That's in the recipe also)
I'm wearing MIL's apron!
The end result!
The real end result!
They were not good at all!
Mr. Pie said they were ok and that was a great try for the first time. He must really love me.
We had so much fun - thanks for coming over girls! If you attempt to make these, be sure to have all of the ingredients in the real recipe (taken from Bakerella above) and also mix in a lot of fun.
