Christmas Macarons are made with Vanilla macaron shells, filled and decorated with vanilla buttercream to make the most festive dessert you will eat this season!
STEP 2:
For the buttercream, beat butter until pale & fluffy. Add powdered sugar & beat until combined. Add vanilla, pour in 2 Tbsp of heavy cream & mix untill combined.
STEP 6:
For the trees, pipe the bottom of the tree first. Do three lines going upward, then two and then one. Make sure to decorate with sprinkles before the buttercream dries.
STEP 9:
For candy canes, pipe every other line, dip into red sprinkles, pipe lines between red sprinkles, then dip into sparkly sprinkles. This dries quick so top with sprinkles before it dries.
