Hello,  I made this for my Christmas party… I ended up making my very own macaron pyramid since the ones sold are like $100.00 + 29.00 shipping from France… I also made macarons and filled them with coconut and ginger ganache:Hello, [color=green][/color]

Speaking of towers, prettycake, how do you “affix” the macarons to towers like the one in this post:  http://www.realbakingwithrose.com/index_ee.php/forums/viewthread/4721/

Is it a foam core with little toothpicks sticking out or something like that?

Thanks!!!!

Hi, I used toothpick. I position the toothpicks on the styrofoam cone then very carefully poked a small hole then attached the macaroons. I had to wrap the entire tower in plastic wrap so they won’t fall off during transport. Always start from the bottom going up. That way they will sit on top of the first row.
