Totoro Macaron

Totoro Macaron

Overview

My love for making macarons has never diminished. The weather has been dry recently, which is very suitable for making macarons. I started making ponies in the middle of the night. This time I tried to make a Totoro macaron and decorated it with icing. It was very cute. It is stuffed with lemon filling that has been prepared before. The sweet and sour combination makes it not boring to eat.
