    Mother's Day Macaron Flower Bouquet and Brunch in Vancouver's Revolving Restaurant

    Published: May 8, 2016 · Modified: May 5, 2018 by Mimi · This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    Today we celebrated mom's day way up high in Top of Vancouver Revolving Restaurant. It was a lively get together which included our two moms, my family and hubby's family. We presented our moms with these flower macaron bouquets I created for them.

    I'd like to say that somehow I inherited mom's skills towards working with my hands. She is perhaps the most handiest woman (or person) I have ever known in my entire life. I'm not kidding. Sometimes professional tradespeople whom we'd dealt with for construction or repairs would comment that she had a remarkable knowledge of their trade. Not only could she fix and build innumerable things around the house but she is also very capable in divulging in more feminine pursuits like sewing, knitting and most recently, baking! Sometimes when I'd show mom some of my baking projects, I could see how she would look over them very intently and almost appeared to be silently critiquing them in her own head. For some special items that she liked, she would look at them with a sort of appreciation and break just a small smile at them. I almost wonder in those moments, did she marvel at somehow passing me a small sliver of her special talent?

    Well, I know that's enough gushing about moms. I believe that in every child's heart, their own mom is the best mom in the whole world and I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating. For those who are reminiscing with only memories or those who are hoping to be moms one day, you are in my thoughts ♥♥♥

    XoXo,

    Mimi

    Way up high! 553 to be exact.
    People say I look exactly like my mom but I think its mainly because of our smile. I'm lucky to have gotten that from her. A friendly smile can get you a long way :)

    After piping the flowers, sprinkle on some of the sprinkles before the shells develop a "skin". If you are a slow piper, sprinkle the sprinkles on after just a few flowers.

    After the macarons finish baking and have cooled off. Assemble them with filling on a long skewer. I like to use a chocolate ganache since it is a strong sturdy filling that holds up well at room temperature. I've included a few links to some of my chocolate ganache recipes below. Refrigerate until set before adding any decorations. Once set, apply gold foil.

    Package them in individual plastic bags for food safety and to avoid damage.
    Place the skewers onto a square piece of tissue paper and cellophane.
    Carefully arrange the flowers in a "layered" pattern so they show more beautifully when wrapped.
    Fold the wrapping over.

    Finish it off with a big shiny ribbon.
