It’s said that macarons are difficult to make. I would say that’s about half right. Making the batter is quite easy. It’s the piping that’s a nightmare. One, because it’s messy; and two, because it looks like you’re squeezing a bag of diarrhea onto your baking sheet. The messiness can be attributed to my complete and utter lack of experience with piping, while the poop part is thanks to the chocolate.
