Tuesday Tutorial – Pineapple Macarons
It’s a Flamingo + Pineapple party all this week on the blog. Â Those two are so trendy, summer cool right now, I couldn’t resist getting in on the fun. Â I did two shoots in one, a kids’ table and tweaking it a bit for an adult soiree.
Yesterday, you saw my inspiration board;Â Â today, I’m showing how to turn macarons into pineapples for my party tables! No, I don’t have macaron-making skills, I picked them up, Â but I do have candy melt skills.
What you will need:
yellow macarons (storebought or homemade, show-off…)
green candy melt
disposable piping bag
wax paper
1. Â Trace your macaron on a sheet of white paper, then draw on some leaves. Â This will be your template.
2. Â Lay a sheet of wax paper over your template. Â Melt green candy melt in a piping bag according to the directions, then outline and fill in your leaves. Don’t worry, it isn’t going to be pretty, just focus on making sure your leaves have a nice outline.
3. Â Slide wax paper over and repeat for as many leaves as you need.
4. Â Let the leaves cool completely and solidify. Â Meanwhile, trace the pineapple’s ‘lines’ with an edible marker.
5. Â Carefully remove the leaves from the wax and flip over so the smooth side is up.
6. Â Add a small amount of green candy melt along the macaron’s filling and carefully insert the leaves. Â The melt will cool and ‘glue’ the leaves in.
Voila!
Be sure and tune in all this week for more pineapple and flamingo ideas!
Those are so cute!!!!!
