Macalicious Macaron Baking Mix - DIY Bake Your Own French Macarons Kit –Includes All Dry Ingredients, Pastry Bags with Piping Tip, Template, and Detailed Instructions - Great activity for Kids & Adults

I ordered the Macalicious Macaroni Mix especially for my 11 & 7 yr olds who have been obsessed with wanting to learn how to make them. I have been dragging my feet on the project only because I have heard how hard they are to make and was intimidated. This kit promised to make it a good experience with its pre-measured packets, detailed instructions, piping bags and size guidance sheet. We were off to a good start just by ordering this kit. Upon opening the box, I laid everything out then read the instructions. I could not get the QR code nor the text video to work, so I leaned on YouTube and found a video but with a different brand mix. After watching the video I felt more confident. Mixing the dough went smoothly as did making the macaron shapes. They baked in the allotted time and cooled quickly. For filling, we used the included creme instructions with peppermint flavoring for about half. The other half was some with peanut butter, the rest with Nutella. The macarons came out beautifully, better than I dared hope. This mix was a wonderful experience and a good value for the time spent together making memories. I gladly give 5 stars and highly recommend.

I did this kit with my 13 year old son and it was well organized and easy to follow. We read through the instructions quickly to gather what we needed, and then followed along with the video on the website step-by-step. That was very helpful for us to guage how stiff our meringue peaks were. The only part that held us up was deciding what type of filling to do. We didn't have any gel food color for the shells, and decided on adding matcha powder for the buttercream flavor. I think if a few ideas were included in the recipe, we would have been more prepared to make the filling, and purchased gel color and flavor ingredients ahead of time. Overall, this was a great kit, easy to follow with written and video instructions. We loved it and would definitely gift this to any baking fan!

My 11 year old was able to follow the instructions. The option of the video was very helpful. These turned out great, she even failed to use the #1 packet and they were still delicious!

The packaging is misleading because it does NOT include the food coloring, even though pink macrons are shown on the cover. Additionally, the piping utensil they send you looks very different than what's on the cover. It kept falling off. You need an electric mixer, which isn't mentioned until you open the box. On the box it says, you just need XYZ, but you need a lot more than that. The instructions have a number to text to get a video, but when you text it there is no reply. I don't know why it wouldn't just include the link to the video.

Followed the directions exactly, and they came out perfectly!

Does anyone know what are the measurements and exact ingredients in the “almond flour mix”? I can’t find it on the package or the box. I am really loving the kit so much and have bought it a handful of times now and they’ve turned out awesome and tasty!

The ingredients made 1 or 2 more macarons than indicated. This was a nice surprise since most things nowadays short change you on everything. The provided written instructions were clear and concise and the video was helpful just to make sure every step we were doing was correct. They came out great; adding in your own flavor for the cream is the only "guessing" part of it.

This kit was so easy to follow. Even I was able to make great treats! The instructions were easy to follow and they really thought about the details (the directions are laminated which is genius). I followed everything as they said and they turned out great. Only thing you may want to do is look up how to “fold” ingredients ahead of time.
