Macarons are a fun treat to have for corporate events. Additionally, they open creative and artistic ideas for food decoration that can employ numerous combinations, structures, and serving sizes to cater to any occasion.
Anyone can combine macaron treats and online resources from blogs, social media posts, and product reviews to create a personalized macaron presentation for a company occasion. If you would like to serve macarons at your company event, here are three ideas you can utilize to present them.
1. Macaron Towers
You can stack macarons into towers, depending on the amount you buy from your supplier. Food artists can create three primary tower types based on their approach. These tower models include stand towers, custom towers, and cake towers.
Stand tower
For stand materials, you can choose either plastic, glass, or metal stands. The more premium the material, the more expensive the stand will be. Plastic stands are the cheapest, which allows you to create more towers with minimal costs. Metal and glass stands offer a much more premium look. However, they are more expensive than plastic stands, limiting your tower stacking potential due to cost and weight.
Custom tower
Custom macaron towers do not use a large supportive frame. Instead, they use a combination of smaller stacking materials like toothpicks and sticks to create the frame for the tower. Custom towers offer more flexibility as the creator can design their desired tower with numerous geometric shapes like cones or cylinders.
However, custom towers will consume more time than using stands, as the food artist must combine each macaron individually and test their structural integrity before completing the tower.
Cake Towers
Cake towers integrate macarons into already-baked cakes to create a stacked structure. Cake towers have medium difficulty because they are much easier to make than custom stacks but more challenging than stands. A food artist must carefully add the macarons to the cake, avoiding marring cake and macarons while ensuring that the macarons do not fall off.
2. Favors
Macarons have suitable proportions that fit into miniaturized gift boxes, packages, and baskets. Therefore, a food artist serving in your corporate event can pack macarons into various gift packages. For example, the macarons can come in paper packets with the corporate logo printed on top.
Alternatively, the macaron favors can use a plastic wrapper or basket with ribbons tied to the packaging. The ribbons can match corporate colors as the brand choice, making the servings feel more organization-themed.
3. Additives, Toppings, and Colors
Macarons can use additives to enhance the taste experience for consumers. Some common additives that enhance macaron flavor and presentation include almonds, pistachios, chocolate chips, coffee beans, hazelnuts, and coconut flakes.
Macarons can also benefit from toppings. For example, your macaron supplier can use whipping cream to create a creamy topping or icing sugar to create a crusty topping. With such toppings, they may be able to add unique shapes to macarons, such as company logos for your corporate event.
Alternatively, your food artists can create various colors with coloring ingredients to focus on the event's theme. Macaron bakers use pastel colors, but you can opt for bold colors that use company branding to specialize the event. For example, company colors can serve as the basis for the additives.
These macaron ideas depend on your creativity. You can combine these ideas or even generate a unique approach to make your macaron presentation special. The only constraints to your innovative macaron servings are the corporate budget for your event and your own artistic flexibility.
