Bake all the raspberries with the molds and hearts in the oven according to the manufacturers instructions. Here, I've cooked the clay at 110c (230F) for 15-20 minutes. I suggest you make at least six raspberries and 1 tiny heart for this tutorial.
Start by mixing your clays. Combine and condition 1/8 ounce of the #32 white, 1/8 ounce of the #32 transparent white and a pinch of red. Your clay should be the color of pale pink.
Leave the clay on the tile and get several little round shapes of clay using a Kemper cutter round 5/16" (8mm)(#PC4R).

Step 9
While the berries and hearts are baking, we will begin to prepare the base of the macaroon.
Start by mixing your clays. Combine and condition 1/8 ounce of the #32 white, 1/8 ounce of the #32 transparent white and a pinch of red. Your clay should be the color of pale pink.
Step 10
You can also add a tiny amount of orange clay to make a warmer rose color according to your preference.
Step 11
Pass your rose color clay through the pasta machine with 2mm (just over 1/16") thickness. Cut at least circles. Always in even numbers (in pairs).
Leave the clay on the tile and get several little round shapes of clay using a Kemper cutter round 5/16" (8mm)(#PC4R).
Step 12
In the following, I will suggest to use a needle tool, a scrub sponge and a toothbrush (optional) to make texture on the macaroons.
