About this tour
Spend three hours in a Paris kitchen learning to build macarons from scratch. You'll mix meringue, pipe shells in your choice of colours, prepare buttercream filling, and bake your batch. A small group of maximum eight works with one instructor who guides you through each stage. You'll take home 20–30 finished macarons plus a welcome drink and hot beverage to enjoy while they cool.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the studio and receive a welcome drink before the instructor explains macaron technique and structure. After that, you're at the bench: whisking egg whites to stiff peaks, folding in ground almonds and icing sugar, then piping paired shells onto baking trays. Once your macarons are in the oven, there's time to relax with tea or coffee. The instructor walks each person through any trouble spots—over-mixing is the main pitfall. When baked, the shells develop their signature frilly feet. You'll fill them with buttercream, box them up, and leave with your batch.
