Great idea. Would have loved some ideas on what flavours to add to the buttercreams. Also actual measurements would have been helpful.

[@cakesbykristip]

These all look great, I've never seen anyone put butter in the ganache but it makes sense and I bet tastes better. I would love to see videos on making jam and canning. Thanks for sharing!

[@TannerCLynn]

I like to do 1:1 or a little more cream than chocolate in my ganache, emulsify/incorporate choc in cream in double boiler, then transfer to my stand mixer and whisk on fastest setting. Makes the ganache really light, but prevents from becoming whipped cream cuz too heavy with the chocolate in the cream

[@nuROMANTICS]

Ahhhh! Amazing video! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes!

[@silviadc3786]

Hi Nicole! I wanted to try the swiss meringue buttercream but i noticed that in the ingredients list you mentioned the vanilla and the salt, but it doesn't show in the video when we have to put those into the mixt. Maybe it's too obvious, but as a beginner at baking, helps every detail. Thank you so much, lots of love!

[@sanaznaeimi8488]

Thank you Nicole for being so generous. Can you freeze these fillings?

[@baketoujours]

Yes, all freeze well up to 3 months

[@elizabethmohammed9417]

So glad i found your videos. Never did macarons before. Would like to. However i did not see the recipes. Can you plz tell where to get them. Also i live in the Caribbean and without ac. Our weather patterns are rain and sun. Some days it is very hot, other days wet. Can you give me tips on how to get the meringue dried.

[@baketoujours]

Hi! All the recipes are at the end of the video. As for helping the meringue dry, egg white powder will help the Macs dry faster

[@caelorae9646]

This is awesome

[@sarahkc8680]

Can I use margarine instead of butter ? or what can I subst to leave it dairy free but it should be thick enough to pipe in

[@baketoujours]

Shortening is a good alternative. Maybe you could even do half and half? I've never worked with margarine, definitely worth a shot!

[@baketoujours]

I forgot to ask, are you talking about dairy free buttercream options ?

Hi Nicole 👋👋👋

Hello my friend!

[@karlycalder563]

Do you know about how many macarons your dark chocolate ganache fills? And what about the salted caramel recipe? Thank you so much! I am so excited to try them!

[@baketoujours]

Karly Calder I don’t actually know🙈. I use my ganache for multiple things as well as my salted caramel, so I’ve never just used it for filling. But my guess would be roughly around 3 dozen macs for both recipes.

[@karlycalder563]

@@baketoujours That's okay! Can you store either of them and use them later?

[@baketoujours]

Karly Calder yes! Ganache even freezes well! Refrigerate or freeze and then leave out a room temp for a few hrs to get back to a pipe-able consistency. The caramel can stay 2 weeks in your fridge. ♥️

@@baketoujours yes we do! Should I use all shortening? Or half Europpean butter, half shortening? Thanks so much for answering! 😊

Yes, if you aren't worried about having a shelf stable macaron (not selling out of your home)-- a curd or french buttercream is really amazing in macs

Love, love your videos. Your How-To mac video was a game changer for me! Of these fillings, which one can better hold up to warm temps? Making macs for a church function and they will be sitting out for awhile. Thx!

[@baketoujours]

great question! american buttercream tends to hold up best in heat or the dark chocolate filling is nice and thick at room temp and it good unless sitting out in direct sunlight.

[@lorimorgan2900]

Bake Toujours Perfect! Thank you! And please consider a video on properly storing, freezing, and thawing macs. That would be so helpful when preparing macs in advance. ☺️

[@baketoujours]

[@rubyc.4311]

these are wonderful filling options. im curious if we can half the butter and shortening in the SMBC? ty

[@schedar21]

Love all the ideas in this video!!! I’m dying to try the ganache and the salted caramel. Can the ganache be made with any type of chocolate, i.e: milk chocolate and white?

[@baketoujours]

Hi! Great question. No, this cannot be made with milk chocolate or white chocolate. White chocolate needs a 3:1 ration to be thick enough to set as a filling. 3 parts chocolate to 1 part cream....this has too much cream in the recipe for that. Ganaches can be finicky when changing the percentage of milk fat in them, they can separate easily when changing the type. If you want to do milk chocolate, I would suggest starting by taking out the sugar in the recipe and lowering cream content.

[@jowellfong3741]

Hi Nicole first off thank you so much for sharing ! Will adding cold butter affect the overall consistency of the buttercream ? Cold butter or room temp butter is better ?

[@baketoujours]

Cold butter is going to make a more dense buttercream. Room temp will result in a more light and airy texture. Thanks for the question!
