This class was a blast from start to finish. We learned to make croissant dough from scratch then shaped and filled pastries like pains au chocolat and raisin rolls. Our chef was great, the kitchen had a cozy Parisian vibe and the pace was fun and easy to follow. The pastries we made came out beautifully and tasted even better :) Such a great way to experience French baking firsthand. Highly recommended (5/5 stars!)

Description
Good to Know
Paris has no shortage of ways to spend an afternoon. This one involves making macarons from scratch and painting them yourself, which is honestly hard to beat.
Chef Fanny, a gourmet Parisian pastry chef, walks you through every step of creating proper French macarons, from mixing and piping delicate almond meringue shells to filling them with chocolate and fruity fillings that taste as refined as anything you will find in a local patisserie. Then you will pick up a brush and turn your macarons into something entirely your own. A message, a pattern, a miniature work of art. Something that doubles as the best edible souvenir you could possibly bring home from Paris.
Creative, delicious and completely unlike anything else on your itinerary. Wine pairing available for an additional fee, just arrange in advance.

You will start by mastering the technique behind proper macaron shells, combining almond flour and egg whites into a meringue-like batter before piping, baking and filling them with chocolate and fruity fillings that taste every bit as good as the ones in the patisserie windows. Then comes the part that sets this class apart: painting your macarons. With Chef Fanny's guidance you will transform your creations into something genuinely original, the kind of edible art that makes for a perfect Parisian souvenir, a thoughtful gift or simply a very good story to bring home.

Great class! This croissant class was a calm and well-paced experience. We appreciated the thoughtful instruction and the welcoming environment. Preparing each step by hand gave us a new appreciation for the care that goes into French pastry. We especially enjoyed learning how to shape and layer the dough. It was a rewarding and quietly elegant way to spend a morning in Paris.
