I used to make macs as a home baker and have made over 100 flavors. Obviously some were specifically requested by customers, but I had a customer who purchased every two weeks and I got to choose the flavors. That was fun! I also made varieties for Christmas and Valentine’s Day, so I came up with themes for those, like a box of chocolates, cocktails, seasonal flavors, holiday flavors, etc. I also loved turning other desserts into macarons. Once I thought of a flavor, if I didn’t already have a recipe of something similar, I just searched online. You can also just search “macaron recipes” or “macaron flavors” and see what other people have made. Think of flavors that you like and make some tweaks. After a while, you will have a lot of recipes that you like that can be put together in different ways. I know this doesn’t exactly answer your question, but I hope it gives you some ideas.

My recent favourite is the chocolate+nutella ganache: 100 g chocolate (I use regular milka), 80 g heavy cream (30% cream), 2 tablespoons of nutella, 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chocolate into a cup, add the hot heavy cream and let it melt the chocolate, add the butter and the nutella too. Maybe add some more nutella and also make sure to eat one tablespoon of nutella while preparing the ganache. Mix a little or use a blender so that it gets creamier and then put it in the fridge for a few hours.

I really enjoyed a whiskey caramel mocha. Whiskey and coffee ganache ring with a dollop of caramel. Also, margarita was good. Tequila buttercream and lime curd, then a salt garish.
The possibilities are endless. That’s the fun part!

I love a fruit + lemon curd combo especially since curd uses the yolks you’ll have!
Freeze dried fruits incorporate well into a buttercream and I also often do a blueberry syrup as my liquid
Chocolate are difficult but an easy way to practice and get ready are red velvet as they use less chocolate in the shells
