Macarons have long been known for their delicate, dainty nature, but Fatfat-Carons flip that idea on its head. These oversized, indulgent creations are a bold evolution of the classic French macaron, featuring thicker shells, ultra-creamy fillings, and creative flavours that push traditional pastry-making’s boundaries.
If you haven’t tried them yet, here’s everything you need to know about these chunky, flavour-packed desserts and why they’ve taken Singapore by storm.
Unlike regular macarons, prized for their petite elegance, Fatfat-Carons are unapologetically oversized and indulgent. Nanatang, Singapore’s leading bakehouse and baking studio, exclusively crafted these unique treats.
Nanatang introduced Fatfat-Carons as Singapore’s first Korean-style oversized macarons, drawing inspiration from the popular ttung-carons in Korea. While the concept started with a trend, Nanatang perfected the recipe, making these chunky macarons a signature product that has won the hearts of dessert lovers.
In addition to selling them, Nanatang is the only baking studio in Singapore offering Fatfat-Caron workshops, where aspiring bakers can learn to create these decadent treats from scratch.
A typical macaron is a bite-sized delicacy, but fat macarons are an entirely different experience. They are nearly twice the size of traditional macarons, with extra-thick shells and generous fillings that add layers of texture and flavour.
While classic macarons have a thin layer of buttercream or ganache, Fatfat-Carons have thick, creamy centres and often incorporate chunks of fruit, chocolate, or even savoury elements for a completely new take on the dessert.
The result? A chewier, creamier, and more satisfying macaron that feels like a whole dessert rather than a quick bite.
One of the biggest reasons Fatfat-Carons stands out is its bold and unexpected flavours. Nanatang is inspired by local desserts, nostalgic childhood snacks, and modern pastry trends, resulting in unique flavour combinations.
