Description
Unlike standard pastry classes, this experience unfolds inside a real Parisian bakery, not a studio.
With only eight participants, you’ll receive hands-on guidance from a professional French pâtissier who reveals the secrets behind perfect macarons—from glossy meringue to smooth, delicate shells.
You won’t just observe—you’ll whisk, fold, pipe, and fill your own colorful creations while learning about the art, science, and history of France’s most elegant treat.
Discover how this tiny pastry became a symbol of French sophistication and why precision, timing, and texture make all the difference.
By the end, you’ll leave with a box of your handmade macarons, plus the skills and confidence to recreate their Parisian magic at home.

Excellent Macaron Class
The macaron class was completely hands-on. Our instructor patiently explained and guided us through every step of the process. We were fortunate to be the only 2 in the class that morning, so it felt like a private class. Even so, the max class size is only 8 and would not be overwhelming to have more in the class with you. I can't wait to try these at home.
Operator response
We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the hands-on macaron class! It’s wonderful to know that our instructor’s patient guidance made the experience feel both personal and enjoyable, and that you’re excited to recreate the macarons at home. Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback!

We did it!
What a fantastic class we had with ‘Laura’. She is quite the expert and took us from complete novices to producing amazing looking and tasting macarons. We had great fun and learnt so much. Laura went above and beyond for us - it was awesome!
We took home a huge box of macarons and shared them with friends!

We’re delighted to hear Laura made your macaron class such a fantastic experience! Her expertise, patience, and dedication clearly helped turn complete beginners into confident macaron makers. It’s wonderful to know you had so much fun, learned plenty, and even had enough macarons to share with friends! Thank you for the lovely feedback. We’ll be sure to pass it along to Laura!

We loved it! Our instructor Lora was extremely helpful and very nice and helped us make delicious macarons! The other group did not show up, so we ended up having a really nice private lesson.

Learn to make macaroons

It was ok.
Was much more for adults than kids. Our kids got bored so that was disappointing. Chef was very knowledgeable and kind.
Operator response
Dear Haley,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We're sorry to hear that the class didn't meet your children's expectations. While many families have told us their children thoroughly enjoyed and stayed engaged throughout the experience, we understand that every child has different interests and attention spans.
We're glad to hear you found the chef knowledgeable and kind, and we truly appreciate your comments as they help us continue improving our experiences for guests of all ages.
