  Baby Pooh Bear Macarons All Dressed Up For Halloween What will you be for Halloween this year? Everyone says that it’s the one day of the year when you can be whatever you want… so I’m not sure why in prior years I decided to be a panther, a bumble bee or even a […]

  Unicorn Collab with Christina’s Cupcakes This unicorn portrait inside a big unicorn macaron is a collaboration between me and one of my favorite creators, Christina’s cupcakes. I’m sure many of you already know of Christina’s beautiful work with gumpaste roses and gold frames, and you’ll recognize them in our collab. Let me tell you, […]

Unicorn macarons are definitely good but unicorns with rainbow horns hanging onto a cupcake topped with cotton candy are GREAT! Ever since I created Tri-color Unicorn Macarons over the holidays, I’ve been thinking of new ways to incorporate this magical creature into my creations.
