Not macarons, but...

This was a real production! For a Birthday cake, I had a Strawberry Shortcake request. NEVER done this before, so this is how it went: Started out with some research on the internet and a sketch idea first. Got the supplies: Food coloring, Fondant and baked a regular round cake x2. One for the base and another for the top (Strawberry's strawberry house) Built the base with a layer of white fondant and sheet sugar that I bought at Michael's: Next, I wrapped the smaller cake in red fondant that I had rolled out earlier and poked some dents in it to resemble the dents in a real strawberry and added yellow sweet dots for the seeds. I then propped the strawberry on the white/green base. Then I proceeded to add the decorative details to the house. I used more sugar glaze, some sugar paper and candy. The green leaves were made out of fondant that had been colored, cut and dried the day before. At the base I added some grass out of frosting one by one then a few real strawberries and it was done!
