Fun Macaron Baking and Painting Class With Local Chef in Paris

About this tour

Spend three hours with Parisian pastry chef Fanny learning to craft French macarons from scratch, then hand-paint them into bespoke creations. You'll master the temperamental technique of whipping almond meringues, piping shells, and assembling with house-made fillings—skills that separate casual bakers from confident pâtissiers. Walk away with edible artwork that actually tastes refined, not just looks it.

Highlights

• Mix and pipe delicate almond meringue shells like a trained pastry chef
• Fill your macarons with chocolate and fruit ganaches
• Paint custom designs, patterns, or messages onto each macaron
• Take home genuinely one-of-a-kind edible gifts
• Learn from a gourmet Parisian pastry professional
• Optional wine pairing available (book in advance)

What to expect

Chef Fanny deconstructs macaron-making into manageable stages: you'll whip egg whites to precise peaks, fold in ground almonds without deflating the mixture, pipe paired shells with steady hands, and bake until the signature frilly feet form. Once cooled, you'll spoon fillings, sandwich shells together, then grab brushes to personalise each one. It's part chemistry lesson, part art class, entirely hands-on. Expect minor mess and genuine satisfaction when your first batch emerges from the oven looking professional.
