Welcome, sweet souls!
This is my first blog post for Bakery Noire, so of course it HAS to be about the infamous pink disco ball macarons. These macarons have been the 2023 summer craze, with people calling them everything from Barbie-core to Taylor Swift coded.
From the coziness of my kitchen to yours: let’s dive in on how to create these dazzling beauties.
First things first
The silver disco ball macarons came first, and we commend them for lighting the path to pink disco balls. I had just made silver ones for my own birthday, and had gotten a request to do a tower for a local women’s networking event! So obviously, the choice to recreate them in pink was right in front of me.
The process of making macarons is one with three important tenements:
Ratio:
The ratio of 4 simple ingredients is all it takes to make the perfect macaron shell. Here at Bakery Noire, we use an almost exact ratio of almond flour, to powdered sugar, to white sugar, to egg whites.
Science:
We control and use the same exact ingredient ratio every time, and hypothesize on what changes can be made to the process, not the ingredients or method. We also use a kitchen scale for gram measurements, always!
Patience:
Macarons are notoriously difficult and finicky. All macaron bakers know that what works for one, may not work for another! It’s up to you (and your oven) to determine what tweaks are needed to create beautiful, full shells.
Once you have your shells made, now we get to the fun part: decorating! Here are a few tips on bringing disco to your own kitchen:
Decide how you want to decorate. Are you partial to royal icing, or maybe chocolate? The key is finding a medium you’re comfortable with handling!
Glitter gracefully – when applying edible shimmer and glitter, do it with finesse! A light touch ensures a disco ball effect without crushing the delicate macaron shell.
Pick a fun filling! We filled our macarons with vanilla buttercream and a fresh raspberry jam, but there are endless delicious (and pink! More pink!!) fillings to use, from buttercream to ganache!
Let’s Boogie Together!
Whether you’re hosting a fabulous soirée, a Barbie party, or Taylor Swift karaoke night, these pink disco ball macarons will add just a little extra sparkle! Let’s celebrate the joy of baking, one glittering macaron at a time.
