About

Macarons are incredibly popular, pricey and one of the most difficult pastries to master. In this completely hands-on class, you will create, bake and take home a dozen macarons.

When I started, it took months of trial and error with the recipe, preparation, baking and temperatures.

You begin with learning what a great macaron is and then exactly how to create them from scratch. All the tips and tricks and common pitfalls are discussed. The idea and aim is that you should be able to create beautiful macarons at home!

We create macarons from the 3 basic ingredients (eggs, almond flour, sugar) and discuss how your macaronage (macaron batter) should look when it is ready to be piped.

We move on to how to perfectly pipe your macarons and how they should feel when properly cured and ready for the oven. Do not worry if you have never used a piping bag - I will teach you how!

We then fill our macarons discussing flavors, others types of fill.

In all, about 1.5 to 2 hours of solid, professional instruction. All tools, ingredients and recipes will be supplied.

You will leave with a full dozen macarons!

PS - An optional Macaron Kit $25 is available for purchase - includes: Silicone baking mat, piping tip, macaron piping bag, and buttercream piping bag. Once you sign up, message me and I will have a kit ready the day of your class.
