Tiffany Blue Rikuma Bear Macarons Using All-Batter w/ Template

IMG_6508

Tonight, I will be releasing the video tutorial to these super adorable Tiffany Blue Rikuma Bear Macarons. It builds upon the skills that I have taught you in my previous YouTube videos so it will be a fun tutorial for those of you who have been following my channel. The design of these bears utilize the all-batter technique which to me, is the best way. Royal icing, chocolate and fondant decorations on macarons can be very lovely and create the same depth and dimension as batter but it can also rub off easily or add extra sugar, which you may not want, to your finished product.

The great thing about macarons, unlike sugar cookies, is that you can literally pipe out any type of design you desire with your batter. No cookie cutter needed so you can be as creative as you like! You want to make a teal coloured bear bear with pink ears? Well, here it is! No cookie cutter?  No problem! Can’t pipe the heads so uniformly? Just scroll down. I made a template for you 🙂

So armed with all this information and my video tutorial, I hope you’ll get a chance to make these adorable little guys too. Ultimately, I used my little bears in a permanent macaron tower for my mantle because I’m still trying to fill up the extra gaps I have there. Slowly but surely I shall turn my humble little home into a magical macaron factory. You know… kinda like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but without the Oompa Loompas. But hey… some days I do wish I had some extra kitchen helpers like them. Especially I’m scrambling to finish these projects before the sun goes down in order to use the last bit of natural light left for filming LOL.

Make sure to let me know how your bear bears turn out! And if you haven’t yet, subscribe to my blog newsletter or YouTube channel. You’ll be the first to know when I post new material!

XOXO,

Mimi

– 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
– Blue Gel Colour (1 generous drop Turquoise from Americolor)

Here are two of the supplies I used in the video:

You’ll sometimes see me use this to pipe macarons. It helps nice round shapes and it’s environmentally friendly AND goes into the dishwasher! Yay! no more cleaning piping bags.

Edible pens allow you to put some additional colors onto your macaron art without having to create a new batter in a different color. I usually use it for the eyes on my cute animal faces.

    Hi Mimi, I’m planning to make this for my son birthday next Friday. He loves macarons. I plan to make a macaron tower like the one you have in the photo. Where do you get the cone to build the tower ? I can’t wait to try your recipe out!

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 […]

This recipe was influenced by a dinner party experience I had in which one of the guests was concerned about food that contained food colouring. Before eating each dessert item, he asked diligently if it contained any food colouring. Unfortunately, I had indeed used some food colouring in the macaron shells so he couldn’t have […]

    Forever Searching for Cute Macaron Boxes I have been searching for years to find a suitable box for my character macarons.
