French Macaron

Description

Chef Amanda transports you to the patisseries of Paris via Dallas, Texas with this classic French Macaron class!

Don your chef aprons, grab your whisks and lets get baking! In this fun and interactive class, you will learn the fine art to making these mouthwatering morsels filled with Swiss meringue buttercream and fun fillings! Together with our classically trained Pastry Chef Instructor, we will demystify the making of these highly sought-after meringue-based sandwich cookies. Our Pastry Chef Instructor will take you through a detailed demonstration, before you will be guided step-by-step in replicating the process of meringue mixing, otherwise known as 'macaronage', piping, baking, assembling and of course, eating!

No experience is required! All equipment and ingredients will be provided. Our events are casual and meant to be fun, relaxing and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in and get settled, wearing your mask. Please note that class will be hosted in Chef Amanda's house with ample space to social distance booking parties from one another. Chef Amanda is also maintaining a sanitized space, for your safety, as per CDC guidelines. You are invited to BYOB beer, wine, or champagne with you to class.

This was a great experience! Small class, no pressure. Amanda is a great teacher. She kept it low key and encouraging to us. Questions answered as we went along. I would definitely take another class with Amanda Bradford. My daughter and I really enjoyed it.

I wasn’t sure what to expect since this was my first baking class. I was really happy that we participated and got to take macarons home! Had no idea fancy flavors come from the icing in the macaron not the flavor of the cookie so I learned something new!
