Im exhausted. I think I shouldnt attempt to bake and fill macarons at one go, macarons take alot of time to make. And its not like breadmaking when alot of time is waiting for the dough to rise, macarons need alot of active time. It wears me out.

Anyway today is a good day, I went with my aunt to shop for Wesley's church fair bakesale. She bought enough ingredients that could have lasted in my kitchen for a year, and more baking pans and equipment. Haha I snuck some stuff in (hazelnut extract!) (:

Valrhona Dark Chocolate Macarons and Chocolate Macarons with Nutella buttercream. I used my valrhona araguani dark chocolate in the swiss meringue buttercream, its so expensive though. I heard that theres a cheaper source for $30 a kg. I also made Nutella buttercream to fill half of the macarons, because Liana likes Nutella. I think.
