i literally only learned how to make macarons on saturday, and my first batch turned out like utter shit. so i've spent the entirety of this week determined to perfect them for a dinner gathering im hosting this weekend! i'm an impoverished university student, but i really want to impress my guests with something that we're definitely not able to buy on our own terms (being that macarons are 4 dollars where i live). the fillings are really suspicious because i tried to be resourceful and use things i already had in my pantry 😳 but i hope people actually eat them when they arrive 🤞
(and god bless my poor roommates for putting up with the heinous sound of my haggard 29 dollar hand mixer)
flavours
- violet buttercream with lemon curd
- cream cheese frosting with strawberry jam
- almond buttercream with cake batter
- pandan buttercream with ube coconut paste
- oreo pudding with oreo pastry cream
- vanilla pudding with chopped pistachios
i use the pies and tacos swiss recipe for the shells but swap egg white powder for meringue powder since i can only find the latter in the grocery store

Super!
Holy moly they look delectable, great work
First of all congrats they look amazing. I’ve got to ask what settings/setup/camera did you use for the closeups. The photos look amazing. Like they could be in an ad campaign.
I am not worthy.
WOW, I don’t see any broke-ness, only perfection and elegance
I love how the background color matches the macarons. They look yummy!
You’re amazing!! They look perfect!
They are stunning! I feel like you must work in a French patisserie shop. I can’t believe you are a newbie to them. Mine are awful. I
am sure your friends will love them for dessert.
Loooove how you took those pictures! It looks like an ad I’m ngl. Have you thought abt working as a freelancer for product shootings? Maybe this way you can get a bit of money.
Anyways, your macarons look amazing too.
Incredible! This is amazing work
If they taste as good as they look your guests are in for a treat.
Pretty patties!~ (╭☞•̀o•́)╭☞
Colorful macarons
You got this! 🤞✨
If I had some shop with macarons Id want the photos and the presentation to look like this.
They look totally professional and Id totally believe you if you told me you bought them from some macaron chef 😃.
To be honest at first I thought these are some AI photos for an illustration cause they looked too perfect to be true for “just a student who wants to impress guests”.
Did you say almond with cake batter???
I swear by Pie&Tacos recipe too!
I’m sorry but you don’t get to get away by calling the best flavour combinations as suspicious 😭 I can’t allow you to undersell yourself when these are amazing!
These macarons looks delicious, the flavour combo is making me drool and sounds what I expect a fancy restaurant to serve and your photography skills are top notch 👌

The dedication to nail these in a week on a student budget is seriously impressive. Your flavor combinations sound way more creative than anything you’d find in a bakery. They look absolutely professional, like something out of a patisserie window.
These are beautiful!!!
They look like it’s taken from a commercial!
What size paper do you use? Seems like muffin papir or minimuffin papir size? Looks great btw!
Looks divine!
You could hustle your way out of poverty with these macarons! They look good and the flavor combos sound super fancy~
Love the color combos!! Most of the time people use pastels so I love to see something so vibrant!!
This looks absolutely delicious and beautifully done 🤩
These are literally amazing
