Mix 300 gram FunCakes mix for Macarons with 70 gram egg white. Mix at high speed for min. 5 minutes. Fill a piping bag with decorating tip 2A. Make circles on a macaron mat. Let it rest for two hours. Preheat the oven at 140°C (convection oven 130°C). Bake the macarons for 15 minutes and let them cool down completely afterwards.

Meanwhile, prepare 125 gram FunCakes mix for bBttercream as indicated on the package or in this basic recipe. Flavour with FunCakes flavouring dulce de leche.

Beat 100 ml whipping cream stiff (without sugar).Use a spatula to smear out a thin layer of whipped cream on a piece of parchment paper (picture 1). Use a toothpick to create colouring swirls in the whipping cream (picture 2).

Remove the macarons from the mat and lay them in the coloured whipped cream with the round side for about 30 seconds. Twist a bit to cover the macaron completely with colouring. Whipe away the whipped cream with a paper towel. You have now created a watercolour effect on the macarons. Repeat this for all macarons.

Fill a piping bag with the buttercream and cut off a tip. Fill a macaron with the buttercream and place another macaron on top. Place in the fridge for the buttercream to stiffen.

Decorate the macarons with some gold flakes.
