Make Your Own French Macaron
Join us for a fun and interactive workshop that will introduce you to the world of French macarons! Perfect for beginners, this hands-on class will guide you through the process of mastering the delicate art of macaron-making, starting with the essential techniques of mixing and folding to achieve the perfect shell.
Under the guidance of our classically trained Pastry Chef Instructor, we will demystify the macaron-making process. From a detailed demonstration to hands-on practice, you’ll gain confidence in creating these delicate treats. Together, we will explore every step—from mastering the meringue technique (macaronage) and piping, to baking, assembling, and, of course, tasting! You’ll also learn how to craft a rich French buttercream and experiment with classic flavors like almond and vanilla, along with modern twists such as matcha.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with the foundational skills and techniques needed to recreate these elegant treats at home, all in a relaxed and supportive environment.
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you do not already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. 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 is happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
You will work with other students in groups of 2-5 sharing equipment and ingredients. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, especially if you are part of a large group. This class is for guests 18+. Drinks will not be available for purchase during the class, but water will be provided. Alcoholic drinks are not allowed on site.
