These Birthday Cake Macarons are inspired by the beautiful, party-perfect macarons at Bottega Louie in Los Angeles. If you’ve ever visited their patisserie, you’ve probably seen their iconic white and pink macarons sprinkled with rainbow sprinkles—they’re adorable, festive, and so delicious.
This version captures that same look and flavor: the shells are made with super-fine almond flour from blanched almonds, which gives them a smooth, classic texture. You can use a good-quality store-bought almond flour or grind your own blanched almonds at home until ultra-fine.
Inside, they’re filled with a creamy cake batter buttercream, made with a few spoonfuls of white cake mix blended right into the frosting. It adds just the right nostalgic birthday cake flavor—sweet, buttery, and totally irresistible.
