Classic French Macaron

Description

Welcome to our French Macaron class, where you’ll embark on a culinary journey straight to the heart of Parisian patisseries! Get ready to don your aprons and sharpen your whisks as we dive into the art of making these iconic, delicate treats. In this hands-on class, we’ll guide you through the entire process of creating these sophisticated meringue-based cookies, from mastering the perfect meringue to achieving that ideal macaronage—a crucial technique for flawless macarons. Our expert Pastry Chef Instructor will lead you through a step-by-step demonstration, sharing insider tips and techniques that will help you avoid common pitfalls and ensure your macarons turn out beautifully every time. You’ll learn how to pipe, bake, and assemble these delicious little sandwiches, and we’ll explore a variety of flavors and fillings—from classic buttercream to rich ganache and vibrant fruit preserves. By the end of the class, you’ll not only have a box of delightful macarons to enjoy but also the skills and confidence to recreate these Parisian gems at home. Join us and add a touch of French elegance to your baking repertoire!

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don't already have them in your home kitchen. This class is designed to be just as fun for the baking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who's happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Seeking to expand their skills, they moved to Central Market, where they explored more than just cake decorating. A year ago, Chef Etni started a home business, catering pastries and cupcakes for birthdays and small events, while also decorating cakes for various occasions.

I enjoyed the overall class. The downtime while baking was unavoidable, but I do think something fun could have been planned for us during that time. Not sure what, exactly - maybe reading some history in macarons, and then doing a fun trivia game? It was quite a long time to wait!

The instructor did a nice job. Everything was organized and ready for the preparation of macarons. I think she assumed that everyone knew how to crack an egg so that the yolk doesn't mix with the whites. I understand the assumption because I did too until I saw the different ways people crack eggs! Overall, the class went smoothly and we made some yummy macarons. The Even Hotel didn't have an adequate oven to handle the demands of a class of our size. That did lead to the class going long and having some people leave around 9:30. The instructor did a nice job keeping everyone informed and trying to move things along.

It was an okay class for someone who has never baked macarons before . But I felt due to the lack of equipments it ran longer than expected. The chef was very polite and answered all questions .
