Macarons, Pine Needle Baskets, Micrometers

Summary

Almond-based meringue batter is piped, rested and baked into smooth macaron shells before pairs are joined with flavoured fillings. Bundles of long pine needles are coiled and stitched into decorative baskets, while precision-machined frames, spindles and calibrated screw mechanisms are assembled into micrometers capable of measuring extremely small dimensions.
