Pusheen Sushi Mixed Berry Macarons

My friend requested for some macarons with the theme of Pusheen, cute and Japanese food. This was what I came up with! I used the Swiss meringue method to create the macaron shells.

There isn't a fixed recipe as you can adjust the sugar level according to taste. I just added some pinches...
