Happy Valentine's Day!

EEek! These turned out so cute! I love them so much! Wishing everyone a wonderful Valentine's Day. Hope these little cute faces made you as happy as I am :)

Like the New Year's macarons, I used edible Pearl Dust mixed with a little vanilla extract to paint the gold details. I "glued" on the heart sprinkles with a bit of melted white chocolate. As for the faces, I made tiny stencils with cute animal craft punches that I bought in Japan. I then place the stencils onto the macarons and filled them in with edible markers. It's really simple. I will make a tutorial post soon :) You can also draw it free-hand if you like but I like how uniform they all look with the homemade stencils.
 
I also made some heart-shaped ones :)


The whole gang hehe

    1. Thanks so much! I wish I could pop over to Laduree myself! Have you tried the orange blossom ones yet? Those are my favs there :)

      Yes, this is my first time making macarons with these designs. I love them so much! hehe They were orange grand marnier flavored. James got to eat these too but I also made him 2 gigantic macarons. I will share pics of those soon lol. I'm glad he has a sweet tooth too or else it wouldn't be as fun for me to bake hehe
