Step Four: The ‘skirt’ is carefully cut and shaped to the form of the cookie.

Step Five: Once the icing has dried, the dress is then ‘piped’ with black royal icing to outline the dress form. Then detailed on top with three ‘buttons.’ This gives the cookie a clean and finished look.

Is Macaron the New Cupcake?

Macarons have for too long been part of the wedding dessert supporting cast. These sweet confectioneries have been stacked on attractive tiered stands and displayed on desserts table aplenty. Macarons have been served, and delightfully received, at bridal events and shows. These goodies have played second fiddle to cupcakes, among others, for far too long – and they’re ready to take the spotlight.

Macarons have Italian origins, but are now a Parisian specialty. A macaron is a dessert fan’s delight. When consumed, you bite through a thin shell to meet a soft and moist interior, giving way to a filling that caps off the textural experience.

Why choose these delectable treats? Because of their versatility. They come in a plethora of flavors, from traditional chocolate to mint basil or mocha. They come in every color under the rainbow’s pastel equivalent, sure to satisfy any bridal color scheme. Too, they’re clean, attractive, and stackable for the ultimate display and photo opportunity. Whether served as dessert, used as a midnight snack, or stacked high en lieu of a wedding cake, macarons will be a surefire sweet success for your wedding.
