An elegant Macaroon Tower for an enchanting wedding



Macaroon Tower in subtle shades of
brown, caramel and cream

I made this Macaroon Tower for Riette and Christo for their elegant contemporary bushveld wedding. They did not want a traditional cake and loved the tower as an alternative. The tower stood in the centre of the reception venue and received much praise from the guests. It looked particularly serene as the sun began to set over the panoramic bushveld view. This particular tower held about 260 Macaroons, which were made up of three flavours: Mocha, Vanilla and Salted Caramel.

Since I was a guest at the wedding, and a die-hard one at that, I know that all but two dozen Macaroons remained on the tower at the end of the evening. The Macaroons were a hit and it would appear that dessert is not the exclusive domain of women ... The Groom and his entourage were certainly not bashful when it came to satisfying their taste for all things sweet and chocolatey!
