What to expect
You'll begin with a brief history of macarons, then dive straight into making your own. The class focuses on three core skills: piping delicate meringue shells with the right consistency, crafting a smooth ganache filling without the common pitfalls, and assembling them together. Your instructor will demonstrate each step, then guide you through hands-on practice. Expect some shells to crack or spread—that's normal, and you'll learn how to spot and fix the issues. By the end, you'll have baked a batch to take home, and you'll nibble a few alongside drinks with your classmates.
Good to know
Wear the provided apron to protect your clothes. The class accommodates beginners; no prior pastry knowledge needed. Le Marais is easily reached by metro or bus. You can arrange private sessions with advance notice. Bring a container if you want to transport your macarons safely.
