French Macaron Baking Mix Kit with Swiss Buttercream Filling - Makes 48 Shells Depends on Pastry Size - Gluten-Free and Delicious Pastries - Single Step - Perfect for Beginners & Expert Bakers

This kit is easy to use, I wasn't able to make 48 shells as I didn't know I was making the cookies too large. I wanted to try my hand at making macaroons as I absolutely love them so I chose to use this kit to see if I would enjoy making them. I probably would not order again as I felt the mix was a little spendy. The macaroons baked up nicely and tasted great , except for the way too sweet buttercream filling.

If anyone attempted to bake macarons, you would know how easy it is to mess up. I have tried to make my own batch of macaron for the longest time but haven’t achieve the right results- my cookies came out flat and dont have any feet. Super disappointing but then I came upon this box of easy macaron mix and the result is sorcery! I can’t believe how easy it was to follow the instructions on the box via only adding water to the macaron cookie mix and also just water and butter for the macaron filling mix, and I actually achieved making macarons with feet and it tastes really good! It’s amazing!! I highly recommend purchasing this product because it really works and I didn’t really try too hard. This is the secret to making a failproof macaron! I was able to get a batch of 26 cookies which is more than worth it for the boxed mix price of $16 bucks. Usually a cookie can range around $2-$3 at the stores. Additional helpful products to use with the mix- stand mixer with the whisk and paddle attachments, gel food coloring (I used pink), and sandwich bags to pipe the macaron cookies and the filling.

Super easy to make. They work well in a pinch and are very easy. Not perfect but tastes the part. Making them from scratch is very tricky so these take a lot of the room for mistakes out of it. That said you can still mess them up. But great in a pinch to get some done when you don’t have the time or patience (or skill) to make them from scratch. I got tons of compliments and everyone gobbled them up so the end goal was achieved

I wish I had taken a photo of what came out of the oven , but I was so irritated that I had to grab some eggs and get them to room temperature fast to make a new batch from scratch that I hurried to chuck them. I followed the instructions to the letter. They still didn’t seem to get thick enough. I proceeded anyway. They didn’t develop skin in 15 minutes. I put half of them in the oven anyway. They did not rise to their feet and they were not even smooth on the top. I let the second batch rest for longer until there was some skin (after 40 mins it was still not a tough skin). Put them in the oven just to have the same experience. Don’t waste your time and money on this “easy” macaron mix. Just make them from scratch. This product had me up all night anyway.

I loved baking something totally out of the norm for me, and these ended up being terrific to take to a gathering, as well as my kids devoured them. The one thing I will say is you really need to follow the directions and not veer from them. The video was absolutely key in making these so make sure you watch it before you start because there’s definitely some key points that can’t be missed or they won’t turn out. I ended doing vanilla and lavender flavoring but you can add any flavors and colors you want, which is fantastic to be able to customize for what their being made for. These would be so cute for a baby shower adding the pink and blue coloring. Pink with rose flavoring or blue with blueberry flavoring would be so fun for example. I started thinking about how these could be made differently for so many events. Make sure you whip for as long as the directions say and let them sit out for enough time to get firm before baking. After they baked and cooked, adding the buttercream filling was a snap. Yum!

These came out okay but they didn’t rise as much (with feet) as I would have liked. I added almond extract and they were nice and white which I needed.

I loved this mix, and everyone who had what I could be talked into giving away loved them too. This mix made me feel much more comfortable trying to make something that seemed just a bit too fancy for me to attempt. I either had a touch too much water in the meringue or I didn't make it quite stiff enough so they weren't perfect but they were still really great. I added some blue to the Macarons and some purple to the frosting so they came out really pretty too. I will be ordering more and trying some different flavors. If anyone has a good filling recipe hit me up! we did not care for the swiss buttercream mix that we bought to go with it. It came out really pretty and tasted good but just wasn't quite what we like for frosting. I did add Almond to it and that really worked with the buttercream mix.

I'm very disappointed with this mix. I had high hopes. I've made macarons several times before but I needed some in a pinch so I thought I would try this mix. I followed the directions word for word, let them rest until they had a skin, baked for 15 minutes. The first batch, all of them peaked and cracked. The 2nd batch I piped and then poked and swirled with a toothpick. That helped but they didn't form much of a foot. The filling mix was a no-go. It was like soup. I made French buttercream instead. Sad that they didn't work out.

Buen producto, no le doy 5 estrellas ya que hay mejores, además la relación calidad-precio y cantidad-precio a mi parecer no lo vale, solo salen 6 macarrones
