Oh hey, it’s Akko from Little Witch... Macadamia? I enjoy that pun so much that I couldn’t help but make macadamia nut cookies so I could crack it out more often. After all, macadamias are famously hard to crack! (of course, I made a gingerbread one too because I just love gingerbread that much)
Little Witch Academia feels like an absolute miracle to me; the way it popped up as part of the Young Animator Training Project, crowdfunding a sequel and eventually flourishing into a full, two-cour TV anime is one of the most exciting things I’ve watched play out in anime. The entire cast is fantastic and loveable and out of all of them my absolute favourite is Akko herself.
I must say, it was a little harder to get the fondant as flat as I wanted on the macadamia cookie surface since it was a little rougher, but I am still super happy with the results. Even though it’s covered by her hat when she’s finished, I really enjoy putting in the details on her hair. Little things like that and the bright pink of the inner part of her hood are really satisfying to add in. My new method of cookie design using 3D printed icing cutters saved a lot of time too, allowing me to put together eight cookies in an afternoon when before I would only have managed one or two! Hooray!
