Masha and the Bear Salted caramel Dark Chocolate Macarons

My friend requested for a couple of macaron cake toppers for her daughter's birthday with the little girl's favourite characters --- Masha and the Bear! 

I had fun with the new backdrops I bought because it really brings the characters to life! 

I baked the macaron shells using the swiss meringue method along with the shells for Kirby and Mario on the beach scene. So it was one crazy bake. 

Piped batter

I decorated the macaron shells with edible marker and edible paint made by dissolving gel food colouring in some vodka. 

The macarons were filled with dark chocolate ganache amd homemade salted caramel. 

I always make an extra set of characters in case of damage. 

With love,
