After not baking AT ALL this year, I walked into my kitchen with the confidence of a Michelin starred chef ready to bake.
First batch went into the oven. Didn’t even turn the oven light on to keep an eye on them. Timer goes off, I pull them out, look at them and arrogantly say, “I STILL GOT IT.” Second batch goes in. Same confidence. Same routine. Timer goes off… and this batch basically looked me dead in the eye and said, “NO YOU DON’T.” And that, my friends, is how I was humbled last night.
Moral: It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been making macarons. You can never get too comfortable. The macaron gods WILL humble you. Every. Single. Time. 😂
