Based on the Italian meringue method, which is more technical but always yields perfect results, you’ll learn how to macaroon your paste to get light, crunchy cookies and judge how done they are by touch. You’ll discover there is only one good way of holding your whisk to get a silky GANACHE, and pick up a few little tricks for a can’t-miss ganache filling. In 2 hours and a half, you’ll learn how to make your macaroons a rousing success. You’ll be taken through each step right to the finishing touches. And we won’t forget to teach you about different types of garnishes like chocolate ganache, pistachios, or vanilla, or raspberries, chocolate shavings or passionfruit… Enjoy your freshly made creations on the spot… or if you can restrain yourself from devouring them immediately, take them with you to prolong the pleasure. And best of all, it's GLUTEN-FREE!

I really enjoyed the macaron class! My teacher Hiba-san was so lovely and patient. I didn't speak French, but it was no problem at all. I was able to bring home 15 macarons after the class! Be careful when carrying them, fresh macarons are fragile!

Best time and memorable experience

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a wonderful time at the baking macarons class! It was a very fun experience for the whole family, including our kids ages 10–14. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, which made everyone feel comfortable right away. The space was comfortable and spacious, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Best of all, the macarons turned out absolutely delicious! We highly recommend this class for families looking for a fun and tasty activity together.

Educational and tasty experience

We very much enjoyed our macaron making class! We learned a lot about how to make the cookie and the history of it, and our pastry chef was very helpful for those of us who are less talented with baking. :) Our only complaint is that we wish there had been more variety in the macaron filling - we made 3 different fillings but they were all chocolate-based, vs other options like buttermilk. We ended up taking home 30 macarons, so be prepared to eat a lot!

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted you enjoyed learning the art and history of French macarons. Regarding the fillings, we intentionally teach traditional chocolate ganaches, as they are the original classic macaron filling in French pastry. Thank you for your thoughtful review!
