May 7, 2026
A macaron tower is an elegant and colorful alternative to a traditional cake. Learn how to build and display this French dessert.
Macarons are delicate, colorful, and delicious. For a macaron tower, stack macarons on a tiered stand or glue them together in a cone shape. Use a small cutting cake at the very top. Choose colors that match your wedding palette. Pastels for spring, brights for summer, jewel tones for fall. Offer a variety of flavors. Rose, lavender, salted caramel, pistachio, and lemon are all crowd-pleasers. Macarons are gluten-free (made with almond flour). This is a great option for guests with celiac disease. However, they are labor-intensive to make and expensive to buy. Buy them from a professional bakery. Do not attempt to make hundreds yourself. Keep macarons cool. They are sensitive to heat and humidity. Store them in a cool place until serving. Display them out of direct sunlight. A macaron tower is a showstopper. It is perfect for a chic, modern wedding.
