5.Use a pastry bag (douille).Fill this douille with the mixture, then start to put a small dot of mixture, on the top of your pastry plate (preably cover with pastry paper to avoid from sticking.) when you finish to dress up the whole container plate.Tap down the back of the plate with your hand.(to remove air and let macaron shinny).Let it stand for about 30 minutes in a cool room before baking.
Warm the oven at 160°C (constant temperature is very important). Cook  10-12 minutes.not more.
Tips..
cooking operation is very important, watch out the temperature and time of cooking..open your oven once in awhile when the temperature goes higher to prevent the macaron from cracking.
