Total Time15

Course: Dessert

Materials

Macarons store bought or homemade
Snowflake Stencil
Powdered Sugar
Sifter
Toothpicks

Instructions

Position your stencil over the macaron.
Using your sifter, sift the powdered sugar over the stencil until the shape is covered.
Swiftly and carefully lift the stencil off the macaron.

Notes

If you want your stencil to very centered, I recommend poking a tiny hole with your toothpick in the center of the macaron for guidance.
You can use the tip of a toothpick to touch up any powdered sugar that has fallen significantly out of place when you removed the stencil.

No two snowflakes are the same, after all! If you make a slight mistake, use a toothpick to help clean up the powdered sugar.

These snowflake macarons are delicate! You can move them around, to place on a platter or other display, but be careful not to drop them!

Can I Use Store Bought Macarons?

You can absolutely use store bought macarons. You can buy macarons from a local French bakery or check the freezer section at your local grocery store or Target. They are budget friendly and will make a beautiful backdrop for these stenciled snowflakes!
