Sift almond flour and powdered sugar through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove lumps and ensure even texture.
Using a stand mixer, whip egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, salt, and cream of tartar, increasing speed to high until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Add almond mixture to whipped egg whites in three batches, gently folding until no streaks remain. The batter should flow like lava but hold a ribbon for 10 seconds before sinking.
Transfer batter to a piping bag. Pipe 1.5-inch rounds onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to form a skin and prevent cracking.
Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 25-30 minutes. Turn oven off and let shells cool completely inside for 1 hour before removing.
Whip heavy cream with 1 tsp powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Divide into two bowls: tint one blue and one red with food gel.
Pipe blue icing scarves around the bottom third of each shell. Add red icing dots for buttons, spacing them evenly along the scarf. Pair shells with fillings of choice.
