(If you do not have a printer you can always hand draw your circle by taking something round and tracing it. Please make sure it measures 6 inches horizontally) 

- 10 inch round cake board (optional) If you can find a smaller one you can buy that one. We will use this to put our finished cakes on when decorating. This is the one that I like to use.

Filling
For the filling you can buy any pre made frostings. Feel free to make your own if you like as well. 
Here are the frostings that I like to use. These can be found at Walmart. If you buy these pre made fillings you will need at least 2 to 3 containers to make sure you have enough to your cake decorating. You can choose whatever frosting you would like, they do not have to be these. 

*Note that the white frosting you can make them different colors.

Allergy warning: macarons do contain nuts. 
Pre caution: make sure to use heat protective oven mitts when using the oven to avoid burns. 
The macaron shells are gluten free. 
If your learner is not using a squeezable food coloring, please be advised that we will need to use a butter knives or toothpicks to get the gel color out of the container. Please make sure that it is not a sharp knife for safety. 
We will not be making a filling for this class. You will purchase a pre made filling of your choice. 

Please make sure when baking the macarons, that you use heat safety oven mitts to avoid any burns.
