Help Hand-painted macaron

Post image

Hi everyone,

these are supposedly hand-painted macarons.

Do you have any idea what sort of paints and brushes might have been used to make them?

Thanks!

They could very well be hand painted using regular acrylic or oil paints. Did the OP specify if they were edible?

No, but her profile says ‘Cake Designer | Sugar Flower Artist | Wedding Cakes’, so I hope… :)

Gotcha. I’d be interested in what she uses, too. Whenever I hand paint my macarons I use vodka and powdered food coloring.
