First time making macarons in 8 years. A little messy but really happy with how they turned out. The buttercream was supposed to be champagne but you couldn’t really taste it, so pivoted and made it vanilla 😂. Some homemade raspberry jam in the center. Used edible ink markers + edible luster dust for the decoration
Not pictured:
First batch was chocolate ganache + raspberry jam. They weren’t that pretty, the almond flour was too oily and coarse.
Third batch are chocolate ganache and salted caramel.

Gorgeous! You just inspired me. Thank goodness I have enough days to make Chanukah macarons! Chag sameach!
So cool! Love the colors.
These would be impressive even if they weren’t following an 8-year hiatus. Well done!
Love these, so pretty! I also have tried to make champagne buttercream for my macarons that I made for my wedding last year, also couldn’t taste it really, even after I reduced the champagne by half like the recipe said, so I’m not sure what the secret there is.
