Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this macaron class:

Be transported to the whimsical patisseries of Paris as you learn how to create the irresistible classic French Macarons.

Skip the trips to the bakery and learn to make macarons yourself. In this class Chef Marina will be teaching you the art of making these petite and beautiful dessert cookies. You will try your hand at whipping meringue and mixing batter packed with cocoa flavor, vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam. Once the cookies are ready, you will learn how to pipe decadent silky fillings to create delicate macarons that are sure to impress!

Our events are casual and meant to be fun 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 is happier observing and assisting (or taste testing). You will work with others in your booking party.

    I got to the class and was told I was not on the list. The lady made me give my number to someone on the phone and was asked to leave because I was not on the list and there was no room for me. I was then called by some other lady who said I had been cancelled and should have received an email. I did not receive any email. I have not seen a refund. They just took my money and provided no services. This was not a pleasant experience.

    It was a great class, instructor was excellent! The only thing I would recommend is a better workspace.

    The chef was great. She was charming, knowledgeable, worked through the steps slowly and took tons of questions. We really enjoyed her the fact that she demonstrated and then gave us time to attempt it on our own. Unfortunately, the oven didn't cooperate with her too much (new restaurant), so some of is didn't get our macarons since they didn't have time to fully bake. Overall a great experience, sad things didn't work out

    If you're looking for something to have fun that might work for you, but if your intention is to learn, you might get disappointed. It was weird the fact that I was doing the class inside of a cafe, not on a kitchen, but I can give her a pass, as it can be expensive to find a kitchen for a group. The worst thing for me was that I never got the actual recipe of the macaron. When we asked the chef, she said that we would receive by email after the class, as of today, I haven't received. I went to the class with a friend and she hasn't received either. In my point of view, if I'm going to a cooking class the least I would expect is the recipe so I can replicate any time I want. The second disappointment was the fact that the oven didn't work, so even though we went through the steps of doing the macaron, we ended up with two options: Going home with nothing or Taking the sheet to try to re-cook the macaron at home. We also didn't learn much about the filling of the macaron. Instead we were given four different fillings (blackberry, raspberry, vanilla bean and chocolate), but we didn't learn how to make them. Besides the chocolate one, which is just a ganache and one of the easiest things to make. It's an interesting class and I had fun, but I wish it was a better prepared class.

Question from anonymous
I'd like to take the class but have a medical gluten allergy. Are the macarons gluten-free? Do they contain wheat, barley, rye, or oats? Thanks.
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! The class is not gluten-free. It's a shared class so we won't be able to accommodate any special dietary requests.
Answer from Kim L. Verified Student
Brenda L., Coursehorse staff, Why is your answer in contradiction to your course's description? "Macarons are delicate confections made with almond flour; perfect for those who prefer gluten-free or dairy-free treats!" Your description clearly says that the recipe is gluten-free. I'm not asking whether the facility is medical grade gluten-free - I want to know if the recipes are gluten-free. Please clarify.
Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Kim! So sorry for the confusion. The class uses almond flour so it's perfect for students who prefer gluten-free.
