Since then, I've also baked macarons the second Team Scotland outing (against the Northern AllStars), but didn't really change the recipe much, so there wasn't much point in blogging.
This Saturday, however, is the final of the Glasgow Roller Girls Intraleague Season Two, featuring the Death Stars vs the Bad Omens for the second time!
In honour of both teams, I have prepared some new macarons, which I shall tell you how to make.

All macaron shells are based on the recipe linked in the previous article.
Death Stars Macarons
Shells
Make the shells as with the above recipe, substituting vanilla sugar for granulated sugar.
Filling
(blueberry butter icing)
Make butter icing as in the above recipe for Team Scotland macarons. Reduce 200 to 300g of frozen blueberries, with a tablespoon of water to stop them burning at first, until they form a thick jam. Strain, and allow to cool. Gradually blend the blueberry essence into the buttercream until you achieve a strong colour and taste without thinning the mix too much. Adjust sweetness and consistency with additional sugar (castor or icing).
Assembly
Pipe the blueberry icing onto one shell, and assemble with a matching shell with a slight twisting motion.
Bad Omens Macarons
Shells
Make shells as with the Best of the Rest chocolate macaron shells.
Filling
(raspberry butter icing)
Make as with the above Death Stars icing, but substitute raspberries for blueberries.
Assembly
As above!
