How to get full macarons.
​macarons need a strong meringue to hold the heavy ingredients. The meringue has tiny little air bubbles that pop during the macaronage stage and the oven stage. The bubbles help your macaron rise. you need the right amount of air, sugar and protein when mixing into the almond flour. when it falls off your spatula it should flow like a thick slow sap and not falling off quickly in thin ribbon stage.

​hollow macarons are always down to your technique but what if I broke it down scientifically in a free group... would your macarons finally be full. Here is a summary if you dont have time for the free group.

First, stop changing five different things at once. If you think the problem is your food coloring, do not touch your oven settings, do not flip your tray, and do not change your mixing style. Changing too many variables at the same time will only confuse you, and you’ll never find the actual issue.
​Instead, the number one question you should be asking yourself is: "What did I do to deflate or pop the air bubbles?" Restricting and crushing those vital bubbles in your mixer creates a weak structure that is guaranteed to cave in. Keep everything else completely consistent, tweak exactly one variable at a time, and you'll easily eliminate the problem.

Your macaron problem started way before the heat.

In this video, we are breaking down the exact science of why macarons turn out hollow, and why your oven is only ten percent of the actual problem.

If you are only focused on tangible ingredients like sugar, almond flour and egg whites.You are missing the most critical element.The invisible oxygen cushion, you whip into the meringue.

When you overmix, add heavy fluids like wrong gels or blast thr tray with aggressive heat too fast, you pop that invisible air cushion.The result? The sugar milecules has nothing to adhere to and freezes over an empty void and traps a hollow pocket inside your shell

Teflon VS Silicone for macaron baking. Which is better?

I totally get why people stick to the long rest, but looking at the physics of the shell, moisture can actually be your best friend for shine.

Just like a blow dryer seals a hair cuticle to make it glossy, the oven's high heat flash-dries the 'wet' batter to create a smooth, reflective surface.

If you air-dry too long, you're just evaporating that shine away.

The grainy texture is because of the 1. coarse almond flour (not using a premium brand).. but even when bakers sift almond grounds, macarons are still very grainy if so then its because...
2. its too stiff of a meringue
3. over drying on the counter
4. under macaronaging

Don’t be afraid of the low temp! Most bakers think they’re losing heat, but you’re actually “slow-baking” for that professional shine.

​Think of it like a meringue cookie (macarons are a meringue based cookie) that initial low heat is what makes the tops so smooth and glossy.

Stop guessing and start profiting!

If you aren't calculating these 4 things, you aren't running a business you have an expensive hobby. Here is the exact formula I use to price for success:
​1️⃣ Cost of the full product
2️⃣ Amount of ingredients used
3️⃣ Paying YOURSELF (don't skip this!)
4️⃣ The 5x multiplier for real profit
​The best part? All of this (and so much more!) will be broken down step-by-step in my upcoming course. Stay tuned for the release!

Humidity? We don’t know her. This is my go-to oven drying method for perfect macaron shells every single time. Shiney non matted macaron shells are made utilizing the oven drying method. leave your door open for about five minutes before closing the door to continue baking your regular time, you're essentially utilizing your oven as a blow dryer to form a macaron skin
