This is the 11th consecutive year a friend requested for birthday bakes for her daughter. Chiikawa is the character she's into at this point in time so I made some Chiikawa characters in the form of macarons and brown sugar cookies. I am showcasing the macarons in this blog post!
Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi!
As usual I used my default Swiss meringue method macaron recipe for the macaron shells. I decorated the shells using edible marker and edible paint.
Decorated macaron shells!
These macarons were rather challenging to make due to the large size, white/pastel colours and small protruding bits. Oven temperature control gets tricky as a temperature that is too low will result in concave hollows and a temperature that is too high will brown the shells.
The macarons are filled with strawberry raspberry Swiss meringue buttercream and jam.
