Elevate your wedding or special event with these Cherry Blossom Wedding Macarons adorned with delicate royal icing roses. These macarons are not only visually stunning but also have a subtle cherry blossom flavor that will enchant your guests. Serve them as a dessert or wedding favor to make your celebration unforgettable.

Ingredients: 200g almond flour. 200g powdered sugar. 150g egg whites aged, at room temperature. 50g granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon cherry blossom extract. Pink gel food coloring. Royal icing for decorating. Edible pink and white pearl dust optional. Edible silver or gold luster dust optional. Cherry blossom petals for garnish.

Instructions: Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together into a large mixing bowl. Set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they are foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat, until you get stiff and glossy peaks. Add cherry blossom extract and a few drops of pink gel food coloring to the meringue mixture. Gently fold until the color is evenly distributed. Carefully fold the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the meringue until you get a smooth, thick batter. This is your macaronage. Transfer the batter into a piping bag with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Tap the baking sheet on the counter to remove air bubbles. Let the piped macarons sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until a skin forms on the surface. This helps them develop their feet during baking. Preheat your oven to 300F 150C. Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until they are set and have developed feet. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking. Remove the macarons from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once the macarons are completely cool, use royal icing to pipe delicate cherry blossom roses on top of each macaron. You can add edible pearl dust and luster dust for extra shine and decoration. Garnish each macaron with a cherry blossom petal for a finishing touch. Allow the royal icing to set completely before serving. These Cherry Blossom Wedding Macarons are perfect for celebrating a special occasion and will impress your guests with their intricate design and delicious flavor.

Step-by-step guide on creating the delicate and lovely Cherry Blossom Macarons.

Delicate and fragrant, these cherry blossom macarons by Cannelle et Vanille are a perfect treat for spring. The cherry blossom extract lends a subtle floral flavor to the classic almond macaron shells, while the cherry blossom jam filling adds a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients: 1 cup 100g almond flour. 3/4 cup 100g powdered sugar. 2 large egg whites, room temperature. 1/4 cup 50g granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon cherry blossom extract. Pink food coloring optional. Cherry blossom jam for filling. Edible cherry blossom petals for decoration optional.

Instructions: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a food processor, combine almond flour and powdered sugar. Pulse until well combined and finely ground. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they begin to foam. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to whisk. Whisk until stiff peaks form. Add cherry blossom extract and a few drops of pink food coloring if desired to the egg white mixture. Gently fold in the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture until you get a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Tap the baking sheets gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to form a skin. Preheat your oven to 300F 150C during this time. Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they have developed feet and are set. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through for even baking. Remove the macarons from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets. Once cooled, carefully peel them off the parchment paper. Spread a small amount of cherry blossom jam on the flat side of one macaron shell and sandwich it with another. Repeat with the remaining macaron shells. Optional: Garnish the macarons with edible cherry blossom petals for a decorative touch. Store the cherry blossom macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a day to allow the flavors to meld. Bring them to room temperature before serving. Enjoy your homemade Cherry Blossom Macarons!
