I really enjoyed the macaron class! My teacher Hiba-san was so lovely and patient. I didn't speak French, but it was no problem at all. I was able to bring home 15 macarons after the class! Be careful when carrying them, fresh macarons are fragile!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a wonderful time at the baking macarons class! It was a very fun experience for the whole family, including our kids ages 10–14. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, which made everyone feel comfortable right away. The space was comfortable and spacious, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Best of all, the macarons turned out absolutely delicious! We highly recommend this class for families looking for a fun and tasty activity together.

This was such a fun class. Lot’s of hands-on participation. Even my daughter was is a baker thought it was great. I would definitely recommend.

Our macaron-making workshops in Paris are all about learning real French pastry techniques while having a great time. We hope to see you again!
We very much enjoyed our macaron making class! We learned a lot about how to make the cookie and the history of it, and our pastry chef was very helpful for those of us who are less talented with baking. :) Our only complaint is that we wish there had been more variety in the macaron filling - we made 3 different fillings but they were all chocolate-based, vs other options like buttermilk. We ended up taking home 30 macarons, so be prepared to eat a lot!
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted you enjoyed learning the art and history of French macarons. Regarding the fillings, we intentionally teach traditional chocolate ganaches, as they are the original classic macaron filling in French pastry. Thank you for your thoughtful review!

Macarons can indeed be delicate, which is why we focus on sharing all the essential tips and professional tricks needed to recreate them confidently at home. Happy baking!
We travel extensively and I research and plan for the best experience. Many of the classes you do not do all the steps and only a few participate and others observe. My wife has been teaching my grandson to cook and bake and they did this class together. They had a lot of fun and plan to have a get together with other cooks in the family to make some together, They left the class with 30 perfect macarons in 3 different flavors. I did a short walk to Sacre Coeur in Montmartre while they were baking.
Thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re really happy to hear that the class stood out compared to others you’ve tried. Our goal is for everyone to be fully hands-on, so it’s great to know that came through. It’s especially nice that your wife and grandson could share the experience and continue baking together afterward. And yes — being so close to Sacré-Cœur makes it easy to enjoy a walk in Montmartre while the baking is underway. We hope to welcome you again 😊
