diy macaron tree



Although I prefer coconut macaroons to macarons, I do think macarons are beautiful and hard to ignore.  Especially those colorful macaron trees.  Amy Atlas says you MUST have them flanking your cake or candy bar.  No really, she did ;)



Ingredients

24 ounce white chocolate bar
9 inch Styrofoam cone
Aluminum foil
3 10-ounce packages of macarons


Melt white chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave.  Wrap Styrofoam cone with aluminum foil.   Place on foiled cookie sheet and begin adhering macarons to the cone.  Place in fridge to set.  Display on a pretty cake stand at your next event!

  8. That is one tasty looking cake, but in all honesty if I were ever to make a Macaron tree like this, I don't think the cookies would last long enough to make it to the cake -- they'd probably get munched :)

  11. I feel like macarons are pretty fashionable food because first, they made an appearance on Gossip Girl, and secondly, I've seen them on endless fashion blogs!

    Did the tree background give away my Washington location? :o)

    Thanks for visiting my blog!
