Mactweets is going PINK this October in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Hey… if the NFL players, coaches, and refs are all sporting pink game gear to support the fight against breast cancer as well as help raise awareness. It’s only fair that our dainty macarons follow suit.
So in my effort to go pink this month I chose to make you Goji Berry Macarons filled with Creme de Casis buttercream.
My macaron shells didn’t turn out as “pink” as I would hope, but hopefully the pink ribbon I drew on them using creme de casis as the glue and pink colored sanding sugar helps get my point across.
