Make a macaron tower…with Tipiak

One of the most striking ways to display macarons is to make a macaron tower.

These showstopping arrangements are perfect for weddings, christenings, birthdays, baby showers or any special occasion.

Choose macaron colours to fit the theme of the celebration.

They’re also a great way to catch the eye of customers or potential customers. So consider placing a macaron tower in a prominent position in your restaurant, dining room, café or shop window.

To make a macaron tower as appealing to as many people as possible, opt for gluten-free macarons…just like Tipiak’s.

Simple but stunning

We’re big fans of macaron towers. They’re an eye-catching and stunning way to display macarons, which are the darlings of the pâtisserie world right now.

Best of all, they’re relatively simple to make.

Start with a polystyrene cone and use toothpicks to secure each individual macaron. We’ve taken a series of images to show the best way to make a macaron tower. But you may have other ideas or choose to decorate your tower differently.

The beauty of a macaron tower is that you can create your own designs. Our Tipiak French macarons and pop macaron fruits present perfectly in a macaron tower. These ranges include a wonderful selection of flavours and colours, which give professional caterers so many options when it comes to making a showstopping display.

Red and pink flavours work well for Valentine’s Day, yellows, greens and creams for Easter. And if you’re theming for a wedding, then it’s easy to coordinate with the colours of the flowers!

Tipiak’s authentic macarons are made in France with more ground almonds and less sugar than many macarons, so they are less brittle. This means they are easier to attach when assembling as a tower.

Tipiak’s thaw and serve gluten-free macarons are available to the UK foodservice sector via frozen food distributor Central Foods, who supply to key wholesalers.

Tipiak showcases thaw and serve pâtisserie at TUCO Conference

French pâtissier Tipiak will be showcasing its new luxury Vegan Cocktail Selection and turning the spotlight on its ‘thaw and serve’ gluten-free macarons at the TUCO conference this month.

The event takes place at Keele University from 25th to 27th July and is a key date on the calendar for university caterers.

Launched in response to increasing demand for plant-based products, Tipiak’s Vegan Cocktail Selection features an exquisite range of attractive bite-sized vegan-friendly pieces.

It’s a range that’s so tasty it will impress all guests, not just those on a plant-based diet!

The unique finger food assortment includes almond cream and edamame bean on pea and mint muffins, carrot, lemon and ginger mousseline mini tarts, cucumber hummus on courgette shortbread, sun-dried cherry tomato and olive tapenade on curry polenta cubes, guacamole and almond on walnut crackers, piquillo and sweet pepper tomato tarts, and falafel bites topped with sesame seeds.

Exquisitely French

Produced and hand-finished in France, Tipiak’s ‘thaw and serve’ products are perfect for university caterers to serve at a range of events from functions and banquets to graduations and conferences.

Serve the savoury morsels with aperitifs or as hors d’oeuvres or canapés to bring some French chic to the occasion! And brighten up any buffet or event with Tipiak’s award-winning pop éclairs and the delightful gluten-free macarons and pop macaron fruits.

Using frozen pre-prepared sweet and savoury pâtisserie helps with long-term planning and frees up staff on the day to prep other parts of the meal. It’s convenient, helps to reduce waste and is also useful when it comes to sharing allergen information with front-of-house staff, as the ingredients for each item are constant and clearly labelled.

The Tipiak range is available frozen exclusively via distributor Central Foods.
