My latest macaron tower. Always a little different from the last one.

Create a delightful and elegant Macaron Wedding Cake for your special day. These delicate almond meringue cookies are filled with creamy buttercream or ganache and stacked to perfection.

Ingredients: 300g almond flour. 300g powdered sugar. 110g egg whites aged. 300g granulated sugar. 75g water. 110g egg whites fresh. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Food coloring optional. Buttercream or ganache for filling.

Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 300F 150C. Mix powdered sugar and almond flour together and set aside. Add water and granulated sugar to a saucepan. Simmer on medium heat until the temperature reaches 245F 118C. Begin whipping the stiff peaks out of the aged egg whites while the sugar syrup is cooking. While continuing to mix, slowly pour the sugar syrup into the whipped egg whites when it reaches 245F 118C. Whipping the meringue until it reaches room temperature is recommended. Beat the fresh egg whites with the food coloring if using and vanilla extract in a different bowl. To make a thick paste, combine this mixture with the powdered sugar and almond flour. Once the mixture is smooth and flows like lava, fold the meringue into the almond paste. Pour the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip, and use the bag to pipe macaron shells onto baking sheets covered with parchment paper. To create a skin, let the piped macarons sit at room temperature for approximately half an hour. The macarons should be baked for 12 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven, or until they are set and have formed feet. On the baking sheets, let them cool fully. After cooling, join identically sized macaron shells and fill with ganache or buttercream. Tiers of the filled macarons can be assembled to make a gorgeous wedding cake. Adorn your macaron wedding cake however you like.

Create an elegant and delicious Macaron Tower Cake with this recipe. These delicate almond meringue cookies are filled with creamy goodness and can be customized with your choice of colors and decorations for a stunning dessert centerpiece.

Ingredients: 200g almond flour. 200g powdered sugar. 150g egg whites aged, at room temperature. 50g granulated sugar. Food coloring optional. Buttercream or ganache filling. Edible decorations e.g., sprinkles, edible pearls.

Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 300F 150C and place parchment paper on baking sheets. Pulverize the powdered sugar and almond flour in a food processor. After pulsing until thoroughly mixed, sieve the mixture into a sizable mixing basin. Beat the egg whites until frothy in a different bowl. Whisk in the granulated sugar one tablespoon at a time. Until stiff peaks form, beat. Add food coloring to the egg white mixture if using it. Gently incorporate the egg white mixture into the mixture of almond flour. Mix the batter gently with a spatula until it's smooth and flows easily like lava. Spoon the batter into a piping bag that has a round tip attached. Leaving space between each macaron, pipe tiny rounds about 1.5 inches in diameter onto the baking sheets that have been prepared. After releasing any air bubbles by tapping the baking sheets on the counter, let the macarons rest for approximately half an hour, or until a thin layer of skin forms on top. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the macarons are firm and glossy on top and easily removed from the parchment paper. Take them out of the oven and leave them on the baking sheets to cool completely. After the macarons have cooled, carefully take them off the parchment paper and arrange them according to size. Spoon a small amount of your preferred ganache or buttercream filling into a piping bag and pipe onto a single macaron shell. Place a second shell on top to make a sandwich. Proceed with the leftover macarons. If desired, garnish the macarons with edible embellishments. Place the macarons in a pretty configuration atop a cake stand or tower display to assemble them into a tower cake. Present your exquisite Macaron Tower Cake and relish!
