Parisian Macarons

After reading about how fickle Macarons are I decided I needed to try making a batch! I love the way they look in an array of pale colors. They are indeed a bit fickle! The first tray did not spread at all but the color really faded. The second tray was a much brighter purple but they spread out quite a bit while they were baking. I filled them with chocolate ganache. I think I needed to stir them up a bit more to get rid of the bumps on the top.
