Follow directions for the Basic Macaron Recipe, with these modifications:

• SPLIT macaron mixture into two bowls after Egg White mixture reaches Soft-Peak stage.

• Add Orange & Red Food Coloring to one half of the mixture. You want this to be the darkest orange, so I applied a ratio of 2-3 drops of orange plus 1 drop of red food coloring

• SPLIT dry ingredient mixture in half, so you can combine to both the white shell portion and the orange shell portion

• Add the white ball sprinkles right after piping macaron shells onto the pans (before "curing" step)

• Cream Butter for 1 minute.

• Add all other ingredients (start with 2 cups Powdered Sugar). Beat slowly until combined.

• Add Orange Food Coloring (you want this to be lighter than the Macaron Shell orange)

• Beat 4-6 minutes on high until fluffy and smooth

• Add more Powdered Sugar if frosting is not stiff enough, and beat until fluffy
