Raspberry Lime Rickey Macarons

For this month's mac tweets, color my world challenge I made pink and green macs. Usually I don't color my macs so brightly so this was something new to me. I also made the mistake of making two batches (I should have just done one cut in two) so it was a long afternoon/evening of baking! However I'm really pleased with the colorful results!

I sandwiched a chocolate ganache with a tiny bit of raspberry jam which I mixed with lime juice and sugar and powdered sugar. I dubbed these raspberry lime rickey macarons as when I was a small child there was an ice cream shop in my home town (still is) and people would order this raspberry lime soda all the time. I had a blast making these for the Color my world challenge!

These were acting like dominos when I set up the photo shoot so i also did one of them fallen down (and added some more to show off the color).

I couldn't resist making some tiny macs for Cornice and mini Cornice, my pullip and mini pullip dolls.

  5. Thanks, I have been playing around with oven temp and rack level to keep them from browning and to let the real colors show so this was a great challenge :)

  9. Thank you for all of the nice comments! I'm now on a diabetic diet for the rest of the pregnancy so I guess I will just have to wait until I give birth to eat any more macs!
