Tipiak macarons the perfect ingredient for a Café Gourmand

As the weather turns colder, one way to entice shoppers into your café is by serving a hot drink with a mini sweet treat.

Tipiak macarons are the perfect ingredient for a Café Gourmand – a stylish way to serve a hot beverage.

Convenience

Tipiak’s authentic macarons offer the ultimate in convenience. Simply thaw and serve to bring a touch of classic French flair to the table.

Professional caterers love how simple they are to prepare and serve.

Tipiak’s frozen macarons are ideal cake decorations. Keep some in the freezer so that you’ll always have eye-catching toppings and decorations for cakes and desserts.

They take just one hour to thaw in a fridge, plus 15 minutes at room temperature.

Tricky to make from scratch, especially consistently sized, the thaw and serve macaron options are the ultimate in convenience. Tipiak’s authentic macarons are made in France with more ground almonds and less sugar than many macarons, so they are less brittle. This means they are easier to attach as cake decorations and toppings.

Decorate cakes using Tipiak macarons and you’ll be sure to create super stylish designs.
