Double Unicorn Macaron Collaboration with Christina’s Cupcakes (Template)

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, they are just as beautiful and tidy in person as they are on screen. You need to check out her tutorials on YouTube if you’re interested in making something similar.

My contribution to the collab were these big unicorn macarons which I made with the batter on batter technique. Unicorn shaped macarons are all the rage now, I hope you get a chance to make them too. Here are two free templates to help you get started. One is the BIG unicorn you see in our collab, it makes maximum impact in photos and party tables. The other one is a small unicorn which is a bit more approachable and good for gift-giving and eating.

I hope you enjoy the short video showing you the process and the templates. And remember to subscribe to my newsletter. It’s a double opt-in process so once you confirm your subscription, I’ll send you the password to the special templates that are only for subscribers.

Wishing you the sweetest unicorn dreams.

Xoxo,

Mimi

 

This is the gel colour I used for making the pink macaron shells and also I added a bit onto a plate and dabbed it with a skewer to paint on the eyes. Click on link to purchase. Disclosure: affiliate link.

Always use Gel coloring to make macarons instead of liquid. I prefer Americolor, you get a bright vibrant color with just a few drops. It also resists fading during baking. Great little starter kit to blend your own colors.

    Hello Mimi! First time to visit your site and I’m in Macaron Heaven! ? These are so pretty! May I ask, I’m wondering what is that liquid you’re using to glue the roses and the gold frame to your macarons? Thank you!

Lychee & rose is a delicate and sophisticated macaron flavor pairing. This is a great filling to elevate your macarons for bridal parties, tea time or celebrations. Recipe uses real lychees with heart macaron template provided.

Gauging the proper consistency of the batter is one of the most crucial elements in macaron making. If you make macarons enough times, you’ll find that there are already clues in your batter which will predict whether or not your macarons will develop nicely once they are baked. One of these stages is the oft […]

I made these baby monkey macarons for the 100 day celebration for BFF’s baby girl. She was born at the latter part of last year and she recently turned 3 months old. As Ivanka Trump would say, “Happy Birthday” to her. i In Chinese, Korean and Japanese culture, the 100 day marker is an important one […]

It all started two years ago when I received a very unexpected call from my hairdresser of three years. She told me she would be returning the next day to her native country Japan due to an emergency. I wished her well and hoped that everything would be okay but also secretly worried that I […]
