Green Hatchling Salted Caramel Choux Pastry

My younger kid has taken a liking to one of the plushies at home. It's the green hatchling from Angry Birds. He has it around when he reads in bed, and brings it to the study table when he studied for exams. The hatchling is named Grip by my kids so let's call him that. Grip has become a family member and friend of sorts so that's why I decided to make Grip salted caramel choux pastries for my kid's birthday! Grip with various expressions!

Knight and Graduating Dragon Macaron Carousel

I have made many designs and themes of character macarons since 2015 but I have never made knight, dragon and castle themed ones before. So I was really excited to make one, in carousel form too! This is graduation themed as well so someone has to wear the mortarboard. Of course it has to be the dragon! The castle macarons were made as a backdrop so they are not part of the carousel so I took photos of them as loose pieces. I used the Swiss meringue method for making the...
