We were not seated together, working with others in teams of two. It seems easy enough but we know this fussy macarons are really temperamental.. Will try to make some since he love it, but not the kids. The whoopies were eaten 2 days later as it was just too big! I cut in small sizes and they love it. Elisya and hubby packed 1 for their day..

It was delicious! must make more... here's how to make it
