Make sure to watch the video on YouTube, showing you exactly how to make these penguin shaped macarons.

I’ve been making Russian Buttercream for cupcakes and cakes in the past few months, and I got an enormous amount of people asking me if they could fill macarons with Russian Buttercream.

The answer is: yes, you definitely can! Russian Buttercream, if made right, is perfect for frosting cakes, cupcakes, and of course, filling macarons as well!
