Heart Shaped Macarons

Macarons are always round for 2 reasons. 1. They are way easier to pipe and 2. Any other shape will risk you getting no feet!

But last Valentines day, by special request from a good friend's boutique, I tried my hands at heart shaped macarons. My first attempt did not turn out well. I tried pipping them into heart shaped moulds. Needless to say, they just blobed out and turned into a big mess the moment i took off the moulds. So there i learnt why macarons are always round.

But a promise was a promise and i had to make it work. So painstakingly, I sat through what was eternity pipping heart shaped macarons, one by one. It was the most excruciating ordeal. My fingers were numb by the end of the those 100 pieces. But oh well, it was Valentines day and I am certainly not a quiter, therefore I persevered.

The results.... were to die for...

Even St Valentines would be jealous of not thinking of this before.. =)
