Step 1: Make the macarons

Prepare 300 g of FunCakes Macaron Mix according to the instructions on the packaging and color it black with gel food coloring.

Step 2: Let the macarons dry

Transfer the batter into a piping bag with nozzle #012 and pipe rounds onto the macaron mat. Allow them to air-dry for 2 hours until a nice dry skin forms.

Step 3: Bake the macarons

Afterward, dry the macarons in a preheated oven at 140°C (convection oven 130°C) for approximately 13-15 minutes. Let them cool on the mat before removing.

Step 4: Make the filling

Prepare 125 g of FunCakes Buttercream Mix according to the instructions on the packaging and flavor it with Lemon Zest flavor paste. Place a small amount in a piping bag with nozzle #002 and the rest in a piping bag with nozzle #012.

Step 5: Fill and decorate

Fill half of the shells with a generous dollop of buttercream using nozzle #012 and gently press the other shell on top. Pour the silver medley into a bowl and dip the sides of the macarons into it. Now, take the piping bag with nozzle #002 and use it to decorate the top of the macarons. Sprinkle silver sanding sugar on top and shake off the excess.

Step 6: Enjoy these sparkling macarons on New Year's Eve!
