There's no way that they make the macarons every time. Also, they probably have more than one person doing a job. So the fact that you got so much done (whilst having to swap out the caramel pans) all on your own in a little over four hours is nothing short of impressive.

[@itz_moonwolf1480]

Plus she had to make enough for multiple servings, meaning things must’ve took longer to chill and stuff.

I don’t even know how you managed to get all of that high quality filming into the time that you did. You surprise me every week. Love this Chanel and you very much Ann, please keep it up. (As long as KZbins algorithm will appreciate you.

I really really really dislike this trend of golden leaves just to be expansive... Everything else looks delicious

[@Terri_MacKay]

Agreed!! Everytime I see a story about a ridiculously expensive dessert, I know that they've just thrown some gold leaf onto something. 😒

[@Terri_MacKay]

@SeriousName I don't want or need this. When I have a dessert at a restaurant, I just want something simple, tasty, and well-made. In this case, a bowl of creamy freshly churned salted caramel ice cream with some of the brittle on top would be enough.

[@lailataluminousnight8064]

Its kinda funny

[@albuszx]

It's the ultimate sign of empty hype food. In this case, the salted caramel, mango, ginger, pecans, chocolate, all can create a delicious dessert with lots of taste and depth, but nooooo, to make it fancy they have to put on the damned sugar diamonds and tasteless gold leaf. Urgh!

[@AnjuSingh-dm4eq]

Gold on deserts is just so dumb, you can literally taste nothing and Ur eating and just shitting it out, if it is just for looks just go with some glitter gold instead!
