  • Guide sheet or template
  • Piping bags and round nozzles number 4 and 6

TIP: Saracino Almond flour is ideal for perfect macarons.

 

Step 1

Colour your macaron dough using yellow, brown and pink gel colour. Add to piping bags. Make sure your piping nozzles are in the bags before adding the mixture (I forgot for this picture!) 

Step 2

Place the guide sheet under the mat or parchment paper.

Step 3

Using a number 6 nozzle pipe mixture to the lines of the template.

Step 4

Pipe the remaining colours and bake the macarons.

Step 5

Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Step 6

Prepare piping bags, round nozzle number 4 and Saracino Royal icing.

Step 7

Sift the royal icing into three bowls then add cold water a little at a time  until you get a soft piping consistency (when you stir the icing with a spatula the mixture should fold on itself within ten seconds).

Step 8

Colour the icing by adding Saracino gel dyes and pour each colour into piping bags with a number 4 nozzle. Prepare three bowls of different sprinkles.

Step 9

Decorate the front shell of the macarons with icing.

Step 10

Before the icing dries, decorate with sprinkles.

Step 11

Allow to dry.

Step 12

Prepare your edible black marker pen, brush and pink dust powder.

Step 13

Draw eyes and mouths to give different expressions.

Step 14

Dust the cheeks lightly to give a blush look.

Step 15

Make a white chocolate ganache and flavour half with Strawberry Supreme and the other half with Vanilla Supreme. 

Step 16

Put your flavoured ganaches into piping bags with a number 6 nozzle. Fix lollipop sticks to the back of the undecorated macarons with a little ganache. Pipe over with a thin layer of ganache for the centre.

Step 17

Place the decorated ‘faces’ onto the layer of ganache to finish each macaron.

Step 18

Ready for a sweet summer but delicious any time of the year!
