If you’re a huge fan of beautifully decorated macarons, you’ll never run out of Instagram pages to follow. Many food artists on this social media platform found a way to make their mark, and Ayse Yaman is doing it with her signature macaron blossoms.
Yaman’s macarons often look quite ordinary at the first glance, because she usually leaves her shells empty. What makes her creations so extraordinary is their filling, because she always makes it seem like her macarons are packed with tiny flowers. Every once in a while, she also enjoys topping macaron shells with flowers that match the filling.
Her macaron blossoms are 100% edible, because she pipes each cream flower petal-by-petal, using buttercream, bean paste, or other stable fillings. When it comes to macaron shells, she swears by the recipe you can find in Laduree and Pierre Herme Macaron books.
Ayse Yaman is based in Princeton, New Jersey, and she usually bakes her macarons for family and friends. That didn’t stop her Instagram page from reaching almost 100,000 followers thanks to her beautifully designed macarons.
