How to do a Macaron tutorial

Macarons, as i have researched, are really challenging to make in real life. But the clay version of it is relatively easy! I should have uploaded this two years ago but was caught up with other projects to upload this one. Anyone who has watched my tutorial on how to make a COOKIE would most definitely know how to make a clay macaron. Macaron OR macaroon? This, i think, is a common question. However, i think i have found a good source to explain to us the difference. It's best explained in: http://www.yumsugar.com/Macarons-vs-Macaroons-8038818#comments. The Title is: "Burning Question: Is Macaron Another Spelling of Macaroon?" I quote: "A macaron specifically refers to a meringue-based cookie made with almond flour, egg whites, and granulated and powdered sugar, then filled with buttercream or fruit spread. The delicate treat has a crunchy exterior, and a weightless interior with a soft ending that's almost nougatlike in its chewiness. To add to the confusion, it's often called a French macaroon. In contrast, the word macaroon is a generic phrase that is applied to a number of small, sweet confections. Mostly, the term is equated with the the moist and dense coconut macaroon, which is composed of egg whites, sugar, and dried coconut, piped with a star-shaped tip, and often dipped in chocolate. The coconut macaroon, or congolais, as it's known in France, is frequently served during Passover because it contains no flour." Anyway: The tutorial is uploaded to Youtube.

The Versatile 70s coffee table

Coffetables can certainly tell us very much about the era. Leonard conceptualised this piece which has a well in the centre to contain decorative or functional objects. It can be placed in many ways. You can see that there's great versatility. The 70s makes a bold statement and this piece is inspired by Savaldor Dali :-)
