Using a black edible marker pen, draw and colour in a semi-circle for the head on the top of one of the macarons.  Be careful to draw and colour lightly so that you don’t go through the delicate macaron crust.

Next, draw a line down from the head, curved out on both sides for the wings. Carefully colour in as before.

Decorate the wings of your ladybug with a symmetrical pattern of black dots.

Using the writing icing as ‘glue’, stick on two edible candy eyes.

Repeat with the remaining macarons, then place them all on a plate or platter to serve.
