ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

“Available in different finishes to accommodate all budgets (6 tier PVC version as low as $20), a macaron tower stand is a great way add elegance, drama, and wow-factor to your dessert table.

Don’t be put off by the idea of using a low-cost PVC stand if that’s all your budget will allow for. Once filled with colorful macarons you’ll barely notice the stand itself; it’s the macarons that guests’ eyes will be drawn to.

Personally, I like to use a different color macaron per tier, blended to create a ombre effect with the darkest hue at the bottom rising to the lightest at the top.

Most macaron stands are sold separately from the macarons, but check out the link below for a popular seller that offers both (along with a delicious range of flavors!).

Be sure to check out my other posts about custom photo macarons, personalized macarons, themed macarons, and colorful French macarons available to order, which you can add to your macaron tower stand.
