Lolly Bag Tower - Macaron Recipes

Before I start this post, for those who are wondering, the very cool backdrop to this "photo shoot" and the venue for the baby shower was Alice Nivens Cafe in the Melbourne CBD - check it out for great coffee and amazing cakes!

As promised, here are the recipes for the macarons on the tower. To make the individual flavours of the "Lolly Bag" macaron tower, use the generic macaron shell recipe and then the corresponding ganache (I've listed them all below):

Lolly Bag Macaron Tower for a Baby Shower

I think there will have to be several posts to cover all the macaron flavours on this tower, but think of this post as a sneak peak of what is to come...

Musk Macarons

Inspired by Cafe Vue's vanilla and musk macaron, made using musk sticks!

For the shells, use the generic macaron recipe, using pink colouring to colour the shells and to add speckled appearance (use a pastry brush and flick the colouring onto macarons before resting).

For the filling, melt 100g of musk sticks with 100g of cream in a saucepan. Add 50g of white chocolate and mix until smooth.
