Actually, I was thinking when I bought this Makronenbackmetten that they will represent only a nice little gimmick and just one pigeon only in my kitchen. For the price I bought them anyway and I must say it is quite a difference whether one is the macaroons composition on a regular baking paper or are on the mat! The slightly raised edges that mass can not run so strong and the macaroons stay in their gorgeous round shape and they can be superimposed stick perfectly !! Want this baking mats when macaroons not want to miss! :)
