Description

Our all-new Ube Coconut Macaron Mushie is a squishy, vividly colored reminder that sometimes, opposites really do attract! That kooky light purple color from the ube baked into the shell makes for a striking decoration, and stands in stark contrast to the calm and creamy white of the coconut cream in the center. Whether you're decorating your favorite space with this lively stuffy, picking it up for a squeeze, or making it your new favorite pillow, it's sure to transport you to a world of unlikely harmonies. Just like only the boldest and most talented bands can masterfully blend screaming electric guitar with the mellow and introspective tones of a piano, only a chef of immeasurable skill could bring the nutty ube into balance with the understated sweetness of coconut. That spirit, that experience, is exactly what this plush recalls. 

Ube is a variety of yam that's native to Southeast Asia, and has been a key part of Filipino cuisine for centuries. The striking color and slightly sweet, earthy bouquet makes it an ingredient that is as versatile as it is difficult to master. Coconut milk is often used to enhance the flavor and texture of treats made with ube, which surely served as an inspiration to the first chef that thought to capture this discordant harmony in the form of the delicate macaron. That small taste of the tropics brings the down-to-earth flavor of the ube to the next level, and when they meet in a macaron, the unlikeliest of places, the ethereal mouthfeel and contrasting textures only serve to crank up the volume of these two ingredients' strange duet. 

This odd plush comes to you with a diameter of 14.6 inches. Unlike the ingredients depicted, the toy itself features a tried and true mix; the outside is made of a velvety polyester, while the innards are filled with silky-smooth polypropylene cotton down. Be sure not to toss this toy in the washer - to avoid shrinkage and fading, hand washing with mild soap and warm water is the way to go.
