Instructions
Macarons
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Beat egg whites until foamy, then gradually mix in sugar. Beat for about 6 minutes, or until stiff peaks form
  3. Into a separate bowl, sift together powdered sugar and almond flour. Whisk to combine, then toss into egg white mixture and fold just to combine. Note: Don't try to achieve the perfect macaron batter consistency here if you're going to color your batter! This is because you'll need to keep mixing once you add in the food color.
  4. Scoop desired portion of batter into a separate bowl and color with gel food color. Mix until batter runs off of spatula slowly but continuously. Transfer batter to a piping bag or Ziploc bag.
  5. Pipe batter onto prepared baking sheet into desired shapes. Preheat oven to 300 F.
  6. For mini macarons, let rest for 15-20 minutes or until you can lightly tap the macaron and your finger doesn't stick. For full-size 1" macarons, let rest for 20-30 minutes.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Macarons should come off baking sheet cleanly.
Buttercream Frosting
  1. Cream together butter and powdered sugar, then mix in vanilla.

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt together butter and chocolate chips at 30 second intervals. Make sure to stir in between each interval.
  3. Add white sugar, vanilla, and salt to butter mixture. Stir to combine, then mix in eggs one at a time.
  4. Fold in flour and mix until just combined. Fill greased brownie pop mold with batter all the way to the tops of the mold and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Royal Icing
  1. Whisk together meringue powder and powdered sugar until combined. Add in water 1 T at a time, beating with an electric mixer after each addition. Mix in black gel food color to achieve a dark gray. I found to get the perfect warm gray for Pusheen, it also helps to add in 1 drop of brown gel food color if you have it on hand.

Instructions
Funfetti Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 6” cake pans with cooking spray
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Mix in eggs, beating after each addition. Add in vanilla and combine. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with the dry. Fold in sprinkles.
  4. Divide batter between the three pans, then bake for 30-35 min.
No-Spread Sugar Cookies
  1. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  3. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in two additions. Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate cookie dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator or until firm.
  4. Generously flour work surface and roll out cookie dough until 1/4" thick. Cut out desired shapes and transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottom of cookies are golden brown.
Royal Icing
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together meringue powder and powdered sugar. Add in 1 1/2 T water and mix with a hand mixer for at least 5 minutes. Add more water as needed and color with food color. For brown icing, use a mix of cocoa powder and orange food color. Without orange food color, icing may look too gray-brown. The orange warms up the color nicely!
White Chocolate Drip
  1. Heat heavy whipping cream in the microwave until it begins to simmer. Spoon in white chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes to melt slightly. Mix until fully incorporated (may need to microwave slightly more). Add white food color if desired, and mix in more melted white chocolate if necessary.
