Indulge in Macarons this Valentine!

Macarons, macarons and macarons...! I've been making down-sized macarons (not round, but heart shape) for Valentine's day since it's near the corner :)
However being the first time making miniature macarons, I actually took many days to make them; doing experiments with different clays, getting the correct colour tone before they became desirable :X

Here it is, an overview of the many macarons laying around; the colorful macarons on the top left were the first and second batches, followed by the third batch of macarons (pink and purple color) on the bottom right, which were more desirable, waiting to be filled with buttercream... :)

After some degree of  'quality checks', these were the failed macarons with undesirable texture and tone of color... Haven't thought of what to do about them but the effect of putting them together like this,

has put on a smile on my face :) I like the combination which gave a rainbow color effect! *Hee*

At different angles, the macarons filled with buttercream look like that:

I also decorated a mini box to put these lovely macarons in it!

Last but not least... In the world of miniatures, I think crafted items will be better if it's useful! Hence I've transformed the heart-shape macarons to something wearable - earrings! :)

Well this isn't all... *haha* I'm making more macarons of different colors and flavours! 
Hope you like what I've made so far! :)

Bon appétit!
