Thank you ...Karen - Haha I love Wheel & Barrow! Thank you :) <br /> <br />Chocolate Shavings - It's great cos then it's not too sweet! Thanks!<br /><br />Zina - Thanks so much :) I got my pack of crystallised violets from The Essential Ingredient but they were really expensive!<br /><br />Belle - :) I know, they can get to the point where it almost hurts your throat! Thanks!<br /><br />Fiona - Haha you're like my bf, he loves to suck on lemons! I prefer it in curd :D<br /><br />Joy - Oh thank you! Good luck!! The first time is always the scariest :S<br /> <br />Trisha - Oh no!! Yeah they are tricky little buggers, maybe you should try the Italian meringue method? I did that for my first time because it's harder to screw up!<br /><br />Rilsta - Haha I love watching the food colour while it's swirling in! <br /> <br />Jacq - :D Purple is the best! I am so in love with candied violets<br /><br />FFichiban - Haha I wouldn't go that far! I'm in training ;) Thanks!<br /> <br />Conor - Heehee good to know it ticks the important boxes! More thing should be purple!<br /><br />jenbear - I actually don't have a fan in my oven, so it's a little tricky but it's definitely possible! Every oven is different so it's just a matter of fiddling with timing and temps until you get it right :)<br /><br />chocolatesuze - Hehe as soon as I saw it making the pretty swirl I was grabbing for my camera!<br /> <br />linda - :) thanks! Haha you can have some of mine if you want! I seriously cannot believe you miss them after the massive amount you baked. you crazy!<br /> <br />Ellie - Haha I don't blame you!

I got my powdered food colouring from The Essential Ingredient (<a href="http://www.theessentialingredient.com.au/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theessentialingredient.com.au/</a>), but you should be able to get it from any cake decorating store. I know there's one in Castle Hill which has an online store (<a href="http://www.cakedecoratingcentral.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cakedecoratingcentral.com/</a>). Yep, liquid food colouring can cause havoc when making macarons, I think it upsets the dry-wet ingredients balance!Stephcookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13287192870684938203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455891724757786007.post-2424879917149669902010-02-18T15:43:12.556+11:002010-02-18T15:43:12.556+11:00Oh they look great Steph!
