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.
