1. 第1步.

   Mix the almond meal and powdered sugar, sifted

   
2. 第2步.

   Add the egg whites and mix them until it's sticky dough like consistency

   
3. 第3步.

   Add the food gel color. I use purple and little bit of pink to make it lavender. And keep in mind that the color will come out lighter after you bake them. Set aside.

   
4. 第4步.

   Mix the water and 120g granulated sugar together in the sauce pan. Put them on the stove

   
5. 第5步.

   Beat 55g egg whites with you mixer. When the bubbles star to form add the 35g granulated sugar to stabilize the meringue. Keep beating the egg whites until the soft peak

   
6. 第6步.

   Turn on the stove ( if you have the candy thermometer attach it to the pan) when the temperature reaches to 240F pour it slowly into the egg whites mixture. (If you don't have the thermometer, just wait until no spot with unboiled water)

   Keep beating the mixture until the bowl it's warm to touch

10. 第10步.

    add the rest to the mass and fold them gently until you get the running lava-like mixture

    
11. 第11步.

    Pipe them on the parchment paper. Set them to rest and dry. This is VERY important. So the shell would form the skin

    
12. 第12步.

    Set the oven to 285F. Touch the skin, and it should not be sticky. That means these babies are ready to go

    
13. 第13步.

    Bake them for 16 minutes.

    
14. 第14步.

    Make sure to keep them away from kids, otherwise your macarons would look like this
