Macaroon Tower

Now I've done macaroons before in third semester of my course and they turned out alot better then these ones. The problem that occurred was that the ground almonds were not fine enough.


Note to anyone making macaroons, if you buy your ground almonds at bulk barn give them a spin through a food processor first before using them. Doing so will ensure a smoother look to your macaroons, like the ones in the header(those are the ones I made in school) compared to the lumpy look that I ended up having.


So I've made macaroons before but never a tower, it seems to be a new trend that I've been seeing. Anyways I decided to give it a go for my dads birthday. All in all it was pretty easy, I made 103 macaroons thinking it would cover the whole thing but nope it didn't. I would've just cut the bottom of the cone but I paid so much for it I just couldn't do it so I fixed the problem another way.
