Sloths are life goals in furry form. Even though you can’t live a sloth life now, you can eat sloth macarons while chilling like one.

For those who want to try their hand at baking, there are also recipes on the website for you to try out.

For Milleaville, a Disney princess macaron isn’t limited to her face. They go the extra mile to create her body, and make sure it looks realistic. The same goes for other cartoon macarons at Milleaville and the level of detailing in each design is a testament to the effort put into making them. In fact, they’re so pretty that we can barely bring ourselves to devour these tiny pieces of art!
Opening hours: Mon-Sat 8:00am to 7:00pm

If you’re fussy about how your macarons taste, check out BakeAvenue. As compared to bakers who use icing and fondant to decorate their macarons, BakeAvenue pipes every part of the French cookie with macaron batter. This means their designs are simpler, but lean towards a traditional macaron texture and flavour.

Our minds were blown when we saw this unicorn macaron carousel by Loving Creations 4 U. This elaborate piece was made by stacking together macarons of different sizes and attaching unicorn-shaped macarons to straws. Made by stay-at-home mum Phay Shing, this is one dessert you’ll want to Instagram.

Looking to buy loads and loads of macarons? The Macaron Shop Sg offers customised macarons at $2.50 per pieces for bulk orders over 50, and they’ve got special packages for baby showers as well. The only downside is that they mainly use round shells in their cartoon macarons, so don’t expect anything too elaborate.

As compared to store-bought cakes, customised macarons are more thoughtful and special as a gift. And don’t think you need to spend a bomb on them. Depending on your design, you can get a box at a lower price than cakes at some neighbourhood bakeries. Let us know if you have any other customised macarons bakers to recommend!
