If you fold your batter a bit more, your nipples disappear after a few moments (well.. that sounded rather awkward). also, your meringue needs to be shiny and glossy, so the top of your macarons will be even and smooth. and -very important- : let your macarons-batter-dots sit on the baking plate for about 30 minutes BEFORE baking them! this way, the batter can dry a bit, and it will build some kind of "skin". if you bake them now, the skin is stronger than the stickyness on the non-stick lining and the macarons get lifted up, rather than just balloooooooning into wobbly hugeness. i found this tutorial and i think it's quite good. http://dessertsmagazine.com/desserts-magazine/issue2/#/56/ hey there. it seems like your meringue wasn’t “folded” enough. thats why the nipples stay.

I don't think I would have made it past the second failed attempt. They look like they might not have been folded enough. But there are lots of other factors involved too. - acts of God, forces of nature, too much macaron-watching.. ;) Well credit to you, for persevering so many times!

I love your tiramisu idea though - it may be worth crushing your macs up a little and drizzling coffee syrup on them and layering them in a glass with whatever leftover marscapone you might still have for a decadent dessert :) I've got a recipe that's worked for me every time on onebitemore - feel free drop me an email if you have any questions / decide to have another go :) Oh here’s so many things that can go wrong with macaron!
