Fool your friends or boost your brunch game with this fun spin on the classic short stack of pancakes. Stacks of larger-than-average macarons are sandwiched together with a layer of maple buttercream, then decorated with more buttercream disguised as whipped cream and pats of butter, blueberry jam, mini chocolate chips, and maple syrup. That’s some macaron magic if you ask us!
