Comments on: Ispahan cupcake http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/08/05/ispahan-cupcake/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Then blitz the ground meal with the pure icing sugar so it's not clumpy. Also pipe them in one with a plain 1cm tip rather than in circles (the 'feet' won't form as well when you pipe circles) NQN: You will get better results from your macarons if you grind slivered (not sliced) almonds a little at a time in a coffee grinder rather than use purchased ground almonds - the purchased stuff is never as fine.
