Hi Gemma! I love this video, and I’m going to try it soon. I have two questions: (1) what is the diameter of the circles on your macaroon template? (2) If I don’t have a convection oven, how should I adjust the oven temp and times for the choux pastry? Thanks so much!
Dearest Gemma I often make your profiteroles and they always stick to the parchment paper . Please tell me what I am doing wrong . Thank you so much
Hi Gemma,
I want to make it for my daughter’s birthday next Wednesday. What are the make ahead
instructions? Will they get soggy if I make it on Tuesday? Can you please guide me..
Are these basically creampuffs or does the custard filling make a difference?
Hi Gemma, I can not find cream of tartar in my area. So can I use a lemon or lime juice? If so what will be the measurement in the recipe? Thank you for sharing your recipe. It works absolutely fantastic for me. Merry Christmas☃️🌲
Tres jolie! My favorite! My son wanted that old fashion cake for his wedding, thank you for sharing how to make it, love you and your recipes! You are the best! Joyeux Noël 🎄🎁
Hi Gemma can I use vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean paste in this recipe?
In the pdf, the creme patisserie & the choux pastry both are the same exact ingredients
The choux pastry ingredients are wrong
Thanks for all the lovely recipes
