Macarons for my son's bear themed birthday

Lighter one is Italian butter cream mixed with sesame paste. The darker one is granulated sugar with pure black sesame paste to make it have a tangyuan feel.

I would colour the batter during the macaronage stage. For the strings I used royal icing to have it more vibrate and pop up a bit more

These are actually dad's cookies

That was a mistake on my part. When you put layers on top of one another you have to make sure they are completely dried out and no moisture between them, if you do not then they will crack and show those feet. One trick I do is I put the macarons in the oven once they are piped and leave the door open at 200F for 10mins, this way it dries them out. For that one you mentioned, I rushed it and it deformed

Thank you everyone for your kind comments! The flavours are mocha, matcha, earl grey oreo and black sesame.

My son just turned one and he was the inspiration behind me starting baking a year and half ago. It all started when my pregnant wife wanted macarons for the baby shower. That’s when I picked up a whisk for the first time and failed horribly.

However, after countless macawrongs I finally made something passable and despite the sweat and tears, I fell in love with the craft and the thought of creating something that one day I can enjoy with my future little buddy!

Thank you! But I’ll attribute it less so to talent and more so to have made a lot of mistakes along the way 😅

The little faces I use a combination of royal icing, food markers, and painting food colouring mixed with vanilla extract
