Bake the macarons

Sort and match macarons

Organize your macarons by size and shape. Match them up into pairs that are as close as possible in terms of size and appearance.

Build the tower base

Choose a sturdy circular base for your tower. Spread some filling on the base and carefully place a few macarons around the edge, forming a circle. This will act as the foundation for the tower.

5

Add levels

Using smaller macarons, stack them on top of the base layer, adding more filling between each macaron. Continue adding levels until you have reached your desired height.

Decorate and stabilize

Gently press some decorative elements, like flowers or edible pearls, into the filling between the macarons. To ensure stability, you can also use a small dowel or skewer through the center of the tower.
