Easter Bunny Macarons

Happy Easter everyone! Easter in Australia is a very big celebration over here, just like their new year. You may see everywhere fill with Easter bunnies, chocolate and hot cross buns.


For this year Easter, I purposely bake these Easter Bunny shaped Macarons for few of the friends here during our dinner yesterday. Why I chose Bunny? The bunny in Easter has long been associated with fertility, and have therefore been associated with spring and spring festivals. According to the history, the bunny as a symbol of Easter seems to have originated in Germany where it was first recorded in writings in the 16th century. The first edible Easter bunnies, made from sugared pastry, were made in Germany in the 19th century.
