About This Class

Step into the world of elegant patisserie with our Mastering French Macarons class - a hands-on experience dedicated to demystifying the notoriously finicky, endlessly delicious French macaron. In this half day workshop, you’ll learn the secrets to achieving those iconic crisp-yet-chewy shells with perfect pieds (feet), glossy tops, and just the right amount of give. Guided by our expert tutor, you’ll craft your own batch of vibrant macarons, working with a traditional Italian meringue method that balances technique with creativity. You'll also explore a variety of mouth-watering fillings—from rich, silky chocolate ganache to classic buttercreams—and watch a live demonstration on how to make a zesty citrus curd that adds a tangy twist to your sweet creations. Whether you're a total beginner or a baking enthusiast looking to level up your skills, this class will give you the confidence to create patisserie-worthy treats at home. Expect plenty of tasting, tips, and troubleshooting along the way, plus eco-conscious practices to reduce waste—bring your own container to take home your hand-crafted beauties!
