macarons with raspberry buttercream filling

Behold!  My first successful batch of macarons!  Michael was such a great help and these turned out so much better than last time.

macaron batter piped onto the silpat.  (with a few fun shapes)

Can I interest you in a delish little macaron? 

I'm ridiculously happy with the results right now.  Will post what I've learned from this time soon!
