  2. Dearie, u got the most gorgeous FEETS on earth. 🙂 Those macs are smacking good. I could literally lick them off my screen.

  3. Gorgeous Deeba! I knew you could do it and your photos look wonderful! Bet they taste great too!

  4. Yeay for feet! So glad to be able to help. And now you know it was your oven you can make some more and eventually supplant the Mac Queen herself! our adorable Jamie. xo.

  5. Congratulations! They're beauties! I hope to find some feet of my own some one of these days.

  6. I love the way you described the lessons in Lebovit's class that really made my imagination in a classroom.
    I can understand the disapointment when it fails, i went with them myself.
    Still we had lots of fun didn't we.
    Love that there is only 3 tbsp of butter in your filling.
    Looks beautiful and yumm.
    And you indeed have FEET…..
    Now tonight you can sleep without dreaming aobut Mac.

  7. I've had so much fun with this mac adventure! Thanks for including me! Once again your post is spectacular!

  8. wow really nice macarons. I ve tried making these 2 times and failed miserably. I ll try again though. you gave me courage 🙂

  9. Yaayyy for Deeba's macarons with FEETS! They're so cute. Nice and shiny and frilly and I bet they taste exquisite too!

  10. I LOVE THIS POST! You are an inspiration! I'm so glad that I joined the mac train! Now if I can actually reach my "destination" I'll be even happier! I wouldn't want to shame The Mac Sisterhood with no feet Chez Fuji!

  11. They are beautiful, those little feeted bastards! I'm LOL with your post – after following all your mac quest, it's good to know it had a happy ending! Almost a soap opera. Better: a MAC-OPERA!

  12. Wow, they are so pretty! I love the flavors you chose and that beautiful color contrast!

    Cheers,

    Rosa

  13. Stunning Deeba! A pure twitter sweetness 🙂 with wonderful contrast of colors!!

    Cheers!

  14. See, like we all predicted you got those darned "feets"! Of course, hats off to your persistence. It's fun re-living the challenge through your post!
    They look beautiful, Deeba. Unusual colour combo of chocolate and green.
    Game for the next one? 😉

  15. Congrats, Deeba! They're just lovely! I'm SO a wannabe mac baker — been reading about them for months but haven't gotten up the nerve to try yet!!

  16. "You got feet"..YAY..I am so happy for you Deeba.I was surprised that master bakers like you,Aparna and Meeta were so getting tensed about making Macs:).Even if it was the easiest recipe on earth,if that made you tensed,I wouldn't attempt that..EVER.No way we lesser mortals could get it right;).

    Love love your feet:)

  17. I know you had a rough time with these, but oh my GAH! They look incredible. Chocolate and pistachio buttercream…I love them!!

  18. I'm doing the Happy Mac Feet Dance for you, my love. Just a little patience is all it took (okay, so you lost your patience at about the fifth round, but who's looking?) and a lot of perseverance and you finally did it! This Mac Queen happily and proudly taps you on the shoulder once, twice, three times with her cooking whisk and dubs you Deeba, Knight of the Round and Ruffled Mac Table. And I couldn't have – or wouldn't have – done this without you. Next on my list? Chocolate Macs and Pistachio Buttercream. Dear Deeba, you have Twitter all-atwitter: your macs are beautiful!

  19. oh wauw and what a loverly looking things you have made this time, dont know if i can get al the ingredients down here, but i will try to make them as well!!
    My compliments for your beatifull creations!!!
    greetings syllie

  20. YAY YAY you finally have feet! 😀 I'm so happy you were so persistent! The macs look so good!

  21. "Hooray, let's hear it for feet!" – I'm sure that's a song from somewhere, and if I ever meet you face to face Deeba, I'll sing it to you :). Well done and I'm impressed by your tenacity.

  22. oh yay you made it! Nice colour too! I should really try to make macarons again.

  23. CONTRATULATIONS!!! Deeba, what perfect little macarons you have. Well done!! I have seen a few posts now from your Twitter chats and adventures. I would have loved to see all the back and forth – and participate myself. Fun! I am so obsessed with the macaron, too. That first successful batch is one of the best feelings in the world, isn't it?

  24. I was always jealous of Helen's macarons but now I'm jealous at yours also. They are BEAUTIFUL. I'm doing the happy dance for you. I've never attempted to make them. Never crossed my mind. Congratulations I'm so happy for you 🙂

  25. Congratulations Deeba! Love the way you have written this post..so inspirational! Macarons have come out beautiful, lovely combination of colors and flavors there..love them!!
    I so would love to join your group..may i?

  26. Oh, Macarons how much I love you dear Macarons! I love making Macarons. Maybe I should bake some and put a post up on my blog….

    Chocolate and Pistachio are my fav. combos. So I will have to try this recipe out.

  27. Beautiful photos, Deeba! This one was a challenge, eh? They turned out beautifully though–thanks for including me (I'm writing up my post now).

  28. I am loving this fantastic pittar patter of the Macarons around the blog!! Thanks for bringing this over, for us to feast our eyes.

  30. Congratulations!!! It's the sweet smell of macaron success! What an accomplishment, I'm sure it's made even better since you've failed beforehand. And how! Those macarons look absolutely scrumptious! Looks like you've been making them for years 🙂

  31. Gorgeous feet! I went exactly through the same problems….:where the feet is?!! Now I am just addicted to this elegant biscuit! Nice work

  32. Perfect feet!!! congratulations, macarons are so… Difficult is not enough. Magic? Well, I don't know, but they are not easy, that's true.
