I tried to make corn macarons

My friends said I shouldnt, they made faces at the idea, but I pressed foreward

They baked up beautifully, light cornbread scent out of the oven

I cant believe this is the 3rd time ive ever made macarons, they're so pretty

The main course is a whole cob of corn reduced into 1/8th cup of paste and mixed into the buttercream

Have you ever seen sweet corn buttercream

Once again, perfect

Glamour shots, and a dusting of corn powder for the ✨️aestetic✨️

Now why did I say "tried?" When I clearly have a plate of beautiful cornaroons? Because unfortunately the corn flavor is is very mild, I can barely detect it. I thought that whole cob was going to do it for me, but I have to press onward and keep trying if I want that pop of corny goodness in my next cornfection.
