1 tbsp Brown gel food coloring
1 tbsp Clear food extract
1 tbsp Pink cookie icing or color of your choice for “donuts”
tbsp Sprinkles
2 tbsp Royal icing leaves for orange leaf
12 pcs White, cream, pink, and orange macarons we got ours locally from Bite, or you can make it on your own, this recipe will help you make it.

Make your brown gel coloring mix by adding a small dab of brown gel food coloring to a little bowl of clear extract and mix it well with a food-dedicated paintbrush. It shouldn’t be very saturated; that way, you can build up as much color as you need as opposed to it being too dark.
To make the grilled ham macaron, start with a basic pink cookie, then add the crisscrossed stripes with a brown food pen, and then go over some of the lines with a quick stroke of the brown gel extract mix
For the waffles, start by making two squares in the center of the cream macarons to be the butter, and then use the brown gel extract to make tiny, uniform squares around the rest of the cookie. Then going back over the squares with the brown food pen to add a quick accent color to the corners of some of the squares for added dimension.
For eggs, make a circle in the center of a white macaron, and then make a very light brown line to act as the cooked-out edge of the egg.
Lastly, the whole and sliced oranges and the donuts are all about simple shapes. The whole orange is just shaded with an orange food pen and a royal icing leaf on top, and the sliced oranges start out as cream macarons and are built up with an orange food pen around the edges, and then the slices are added to the middle.
The donuts are pretty self-explanatory, but you can use any color you’d like for the royal icing circle and then add bits of sprinkles on top before it dries!
