About This Class

There's something quietly magical about macarons at Christmas. In this hands-on class, you'll learn to make these delicate French treats from scratch, with a seasonal makeover that turns them into edible decorations in their own right. You'll start with the fundamentals: whipping meringue to glossy peaks, folding in almond flour with just the right touch (the famous macaronage stage, where confidence matters more than speed), and piping neat, even rounds ready for the oven. As they bake, you'll watch for those all-important "feet" — the ruffled edge that tells you you've got it right. Then comes the festive part. You'll fill your macarons with rich, seasonal flavours and decorate them with a Christmas theme, from snowy dustings to hand-painted details. Whether they end up as gifts, table decorations, or eaten before you reach the car park, you'll leave knowing exactly how to recreate them at home. Macarons have a reputation for being tricky, and that's precisely why they're satisfying to learn. We'll take you through each stage step by step, so you understand not just what to do, but why it works. Dietary & Allergy Info This class is suitable for vegetarian and gluten-free diets.
