Discover the art of French Macarons in a hands-on workshop perfect for beginners. Guided by our expert Pastry Chef, you'll master techniques from macaronage to piping, creating exquisite flavors like almond, vanilla, and matcha. Join us for a fun, instructive experience, transforming simple ingredients into these elegant, iconic treats.
Embark on a delightful journey into the world of French Macarons with our fun workshop, designed with beginners in mind.
In this hands-on class, you will learn step-by-step how to achieve the perfect macaron shell, practicing the technique of mixing and folding. The classic 'Gerbert' or 'Paris Macaron' is a French meringue-based almond sandwich cookie. The celebrated original tea shop Ladurée on the Champs-Elysees in Paris is given credit for the invention of the classic French-style filled macaroon. However the cookies themselves are thought to have actually originated in Italy during the Renaissance. Their name comes from the Italian word “maccherone” meaning fine dough.
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! We will make a luscious French buttercream and explore flavors such as delicate almond and vanilla to more innovative combinations with matcha. This workshop will equip you with the fundamental skills and techniques needed to create these iconic treats in a supportive and relaxed atmosphere.
