I also have plenty of tips for those that are making macarons for the first time...

1. Use a template or macaron mat to ensure consistent sizing when piping the macaron shells. This helps create uniform pairs for sandwiching later.

2. Allow the piped macaron shells to rest before baking. This resting period allows the shells to develop a thin, dry skin on the surface, which helps them rise evenly

3. Make sure your butter is room temperature. Room temperature butter blends seamlessly with the melted white chocolate, creating a luxurious and creamy ganache.

4. Resist the temptation to overfill the macaron shells, which can lead to messy presentation, or, worse, issues with structural integrity.

5. Patience is a virtue. Don't be discouraged by a less-than-perfect first batch. Practice makes perfect!
