Simple Baker Premium Silicone Baking Mat for Macarons - Half Sheet Size - Reusable Non-stick Surface (Blue)

After the epic disaster that was my first attempt at macarons, I realized I needed a little help and decided on this particular baking mat. I've only used it a few times, but so far, it appears to be durable, easy to clean, and easy to store. Plus, the stencils make it very easy to create perfectly round, uniform macarons (I have not tried the bear ones yet). Note that this mat will smell a little when it's in the oven, but that smell will go away and it doesn't affect the taste of the cookies at all.I loved this mat so much that I ordered a second one because I discovered that my freehand macaron piping is garbage and I wind up with egg-shaped cookies.The only downside is you can only get 20 macarons per sheet using this stencil and you could easily get more by alternating the number of macarons per row, but that's the price you pay until you learn how to pipe macarons without a stencil. I only ever get 30-40 macarons out of a batch anyway, so it's no big deal for me.This mat works much better than parchment paper, at least in my experience. The last two times I made macarons, I used this mat and they turned out fantastic. I don't know if it was the mats or if I just improved, but I think these little silicone mats are a great tool for macaron baking and would recommend them to beginners and pros alike.

This mat has been great and very easy to use. The design and colors are very vibrant and as pictured.Have yet to make macaroons on these, but they're great for just cookies!Only thing is that it sometimes takes a few washes to get the oil/butter off completely, but I think that goes for most silicone mats.

I just love this baking mat! I got it just for macarons- my first time trying them ever- eek! It worked like a charm! It was very easy to clean, and the sizing guides are perfect for making each cookie half match up. My only complaint was that it was slightly too large for my standard baking sheet, but no biggie- I just trimmed the edges by about a 1/2" each side. My cookies were overmixed the first try but still really delicious- the second try was the charm! They came out perfectly cooked, perfeclty uniform, perfect lil feet, no cracking, & a smooth top- I should have ordered more than 1 baking mat!!!

This baking sheet is extremely cute and easy to use. I have the Silpat as well, however, this mat is great for making the perfect sized macarons, whether you're a novice or expert baker. The template allows you to make different sized bear or plain circle macarons. When I baked the macarons, they came off the mat really easily as well. It fits perfectly into a half sheet baking tray. The border color also caught my eye. It's exactly how it looks in the picture. It's very consumer friendly and versatile. Overall, I was really happy with this purchase!

I ordered the blue, received pink. I later found out in the reviews its a common issue. It's cute but can't review its workability until i can actually use it. Returning, giving the order process one more try. Will update my review once correct order is received.I'm just glad i didn't order multiple on the first order!

what a rip off! I can't recall the last time I ever said a negative thing about a product on Amazon, but I was mad. Venturing into the Macaron territory this mat was supposed to make things easier. What a joke! Every single macaron stuck to the mat. I blamed myself, thinking I'd done something wrong, but my next batch I did on parchment and they turned out fine. I tried other baked goods on this mat and they stuck too. I would return it if I had the time or if I had not thrown out the packaging. What a waste of $$$

This is a cute mat but didn't work at all for me. I've been making macarons for quite awhile and have always used parchment paper. When I tried this mat out I followed the directions and made my usual recipe for macarons. I made half on this mat and the other half on parchment paper. The half made on this mat ended up going in the trash. They didn't get feet, they didn't get a crust and the middles were undone despite adjusting cooking time. Using the same batter I baked two more batches on parchment and they were perfect, had feet, crusted top nicely done and perfect center. I keep the mat and use it for cookies vs. macarons and it doesn't work well at all for me.
