I supported Special Olympics NJ during January and February of 2020. This organization is near and dear to my heart, as my older daughter participates in many of their activities and competes on a SONJ gymnastics team. I tied this "Mission" to the Polar Bear Plunge I participated in, in February at Seaside NJ.

My first time trying shaped macarons in a while...these cuties were made by first piping the ears and then filling in the face. Many ears cracked before I mastered the technique. Face is drawn on in blue edible marker.
This flavor was made by cutting open Lady Grey tea bags and steeping the loose tea in melted butter. After steeping, the mixture was poured through a strainer to remove the tea leaves. The tea-infused butter was then mixed with confectioners' sugar and lemon juice. A royal icing snowflake was piped on top to complete this macaron.
Coffee and macarons go so well together, why not just combine them? These were made by dissolving espresso powder in vanilla extract, then mixing that solution with butter and confectioners sugar. This filling was housed in a macaron shell with a blue swirl, representing the icy Atlantic water I plunged into in February!
The flavor theme for January was "hot beverages" to counteract the cold of the Polar Bear Plunge--coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. The 3-packs were offered as a variety pack or as just the bears (for my younger customers!)
Half a dozen of my customer favorite, chocolate shells with chocolate buttercream filling. Red sanding sugar is sprinkled on top. Offered in a lovely heart-shaped box with a scrollwork design. $12
Half a dozen heart-shaped macarons, including two each of chocolate, chocolate raspberry, and cookies and cream. Packaged in a heart-shaped box with scrollwork design. $12
3-pack for $5 includes one of each:
* Chocolate
* Chocolate raspberry
* Vanilla
***Sprinkles may vary :)
