      Finally got my vegan macarons where I’m not too horrified to share them – loved the Damian Wager course, this is my take on Vegan – Vegan Macaron filled with vegan white chocolate and coconut ganache with a tarte fresh local raspberry and Small batch Highland Raspberry Gin Pate de Fruit, topped with vegan raspberry white chocolate and freeze dried raspberry dust. As you can see, I have not done but need to do a course on food photography 😂 constructive thoughts welcome 😬

            First of all, thank you for sharing the results of your experience with Damian Wager’s course. It’s such a joy to see how you’ve made it your own!
            Your vegan macarons look amazing the shells are well-formed, the feet are there, and that filling combo sounds like edible art.

            Plus, your photo has something really well done: that selective focus draws our attention right to the star, while the soft blur in the background adds depth and character. Even if you say your food photography needs work, you’re already on the right track.

            To fine-tune those visual details and get even more out of your creations, I’d recommend this course: Food Photography with Smartphone. It’s full of super practical tips, whether you’re using a phone or a professional camera. https://www.scoolinary.com/courses/food-photography-smartphone
            Now tell me what was the biggest challenge you faced while making this vegan recipe?

              @Sussan Estela Olaya biggest challenge was getting the right meringue consistency – first couple of attempts went straight in the bin I had the mixer up too high too quickly, another attempt I added the icing sugar too quickly and knocked the air out of them! Getting the oven temp right for my oven took a couple of attempts – first batch over baked, second underbaked, next batch hurrah! My only other challenge was not drinking the raspberry gin for the pate de fruit as it was delicious 😂 thanks for the tip, I’ll have a go at the photography course!

                @jeni-fallone Jeni, thank you so much for sharing all those behind-the-scenes moments I absolutely love hearing about the process, not just the final result. And honestly, those kinds of challenges are what make the successes feel even sweeter, right?

                Getting that meringue consistency just right with vegan recipes can be so tricky, and it’s great that you figured out how to adjust the mixer speed and timing. Same with the oven every oven has its own personality, and it sounds like you’ve already built a good sense for yours.
                Also, I laughed at the raspberry gin part honestly, I don’t blame you one bit! 😂

                Can’t wait to see what you tackle next. And if you give the photography course a go, let me know how it goes I have a feeling you’re going to enjoy it. You’re doing brilliantly, Jeni. Keep it up! 🙌🏻
