You can look it up if you want, the French do not pronounce it like “Macaroon”. Macaroons are the coconut meringue cookies, not the pretty colorful almond meringue cookies.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title=”Do you do seasonal flavors” active=”no” type=”panel-info” icon_rel_icon_color=”#d30000″ icon_rel_fixed_width=”” icon_rel_border=”” icon_rel_list_icon_li=”” icon_rel_spin=”” icon_rel_flip_horizontal=”” icon_rel_flip_vertical=””]Yes!

Why do you need to age egg whites? “The reason behind it is to reduce the moisture content as much as possible while keeping the protein bonds from the egg whites the same,” says Hélène Dujardin. Macaron master Pierre Hermé also says that the aging process increases the whites’ elasticity. If you skip this step, you might end up with a runny or watery batter, which will not yield great results. So please age your egg whites, and take them out of the fridge a few hours before making macarons to bring them to room temperature before beating.[/accordion_item][/accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][header level=”4″ type=”ct-sectionTitle” centered=”” motive_color=”ct-u-sectionHeader–primary” ct_u_color=”ct-u-colorPrimary” ct_u_size_20=”” ct_u_text_transform=”text-uppercase” ct_u_font_weight=”ct-fw-600″]Basic[/header][accordion type=”” class=””][accordion_item title=”Do you deliver weddings orders long distance” active=”yes” type=”panel-info” icon_rel_icon_color=”#d30000″ icon_rel_fixed_width=”” icon_rel_border=”” icon_rel_list_icon_li=”” icon_rel_spin=”” icon_rel_flip_horizontal=”” icon_rel_flip_vertical=””]We deliver to the whole of the UK. If you order a tower, or wedding favours in the box of 3 or bags of 2 and 3, the macarons will be supplied in protective trays of 35, and the display items sent flat packed. You will need to place the macarons onto the tower and into bags and boxes when they are delivered. Our top priority is that the macarons stay in excellent condition for your big day! We have one option for favours that come ready-packed. These are boxes of two, that come with bubble packaging to keep two macarons safe during transit. If you live within travelling distance of Edinburgh, you are more than welcome to collect and transport the macarons yourself. We use Royal Mail Special Delivery for wedding deliveries. Please get in touch for more details.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title=”My order still haven’t arrived!

If your delivery still hasn’t arrived after 4 days, contact us and we will try and get to the bottom of what happened! Some things worth checking: Did you type your address in correctly? Did you miss the delivery?[/accordion_item][accordion_item title=”There is so much sugar in macarons! How much calories is there in a macaron?” active=”no” type=”panel-info” icon_rel_icon_color=”#d30000″ icon_rel_fixed_width=”” icon_rel_border=”” icon_rel_list_icon_li=”” icon_rel_spin=”” icon_rel_flip_horizontal=”” icon_rel_flip_vertical=””]Macarons aren’t exactly diet-friendly. After a quick research online, I’d estimate that one average 1¼-inch macarons contains about 200 calories. The powdered sugar is necessary to the macaron’s texture – and considering most macarons are assembled with buttercreams or fruit jams, it’s a treat you should indulge in with moderation, but savor with a slow appreciation of its texture and flavors. Indeed, you’ll never see Parisians scarfing down macarons! Don’t try to make macarons lighter; eat just one and enjoy it.[/accordion_item][/accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]
