Elegant, colorful, and tasty. The macaron is a sweet Paris icon loved by locals and tourists alike. Behind this meringue-based treat lies a series of sophisticated tricks and techniques which you will learn and practice during this 3-hour class in the heart of the historic Latin Quarter. Our limited group size allows one-on-one assistance from your professional instructor: you will learn how to confidently whip up Italian meringue, add in colorant correctly, learn piping techniques for perfect shells, and create several delicious fillings. After making your macarons, we will gather at the table to taste them served alongside tea or coffee and we will share some of our stories about French culture and how these unique treats have helped shaped the face of Paris.
At the end of our time together, you will receive a box to take your macarons home with you. Whether you choose to share them or enjoy all to yourself is up to you!

While we will try our best to satisfy any special dietary need, we do not guarantee we will be able to do so, and ask that you let us know about those at least 72 hours prior to the class. Failure to do this might result in not being able to accommodate your needs but will not warrant a refund.
If on the other hand you let us know at least 72 hours prior to the class, and for some reason we can not fulfil your specific needs on the day of class you have chosen, we will provide either an alternative date or a full reimbursement.
