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.
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 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.
It is a completely hands on experience! You learn technique in a fun relaxed bakery setting. Paulette was our instructor and was kind, a wonderful teacher, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Paulette, our instructor was a fabulous teacher. Very knowledgeable and gave us tips and tricks for at home. She made the time enjoyable by keeping conversation going during the process. Our macarons were delicious!
It was a wonderful experience. The kitchen experience was exactly what we were hoping. The instructor, the equipment and the baking experience were excellent. We are so glad that we took the class. Willb be making Macarons all the time now!
Paulette was a splendid instructor! She was very knowledgeable and patient (there was a 7 year old in the class). Patisserie staff was friendly.
A fun experience for our family. Very hands on in the actual bakery we had a wonderful teacher/ chef who guided us through each step. She was attentive to each in our group. In the end, We all appreciate the effort it takes for all the beautiful pastries we see in the Paris windows.
Was much more for adults than kids. Our kids got bored so that was disappointing. Chef was very knowledgeable and kind.
We had a great experience! Macarons are tough to make and the class set up made it approachable. We enjoyed being able to go through all of the steps with the instructions on how to perfect the techniques at home. We had an 11 year old and a 16 year old and both were engaged.
Jess was wonderful! Very inviting, made us very comfortable and gave us the perfect amount of instructions for a successful baking session, we were proud of ourselves! She was cheery and fun and clearly loves what she does! The kitchen was spotless and very impressive set uo
We had the best time at the macaron baking class!! It was the perfect thing to do on a hot day in Paris. My daughters (16, 14, and 12) loved it too! Jessita was wonderful and did a great job teaching us and helping with the process. We got to bring home our delicious macarons too! Fun day!
Our instructor was very knowledgeable and guided us through the process making it a fun and enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend!
A must do in Paris, we went home with around 20 macarons!! Jess was amazing - from teaching us to telling us all the local places to try out. We went in 30 degrees and it wasn’t too hot in the bakery.
This macaron making class was definitely worth the price. The instructor was very kind, welcomed us with drinks and some sweets. We then proceeded downstairs and saw the behind-the-scenes of a French bakery. The macaron making took about 2.5 hours and was well structured. The instructor gave clear instructions and was there to help every step of the way or answer any questions we had. It was helpful that the class size was very small, allowing us to fully immerse into the experience without rushing. The macarons turned out tasty and aesthetically pleasing for someone who made it for the very first time and I even got to take home 30+ pieces! Would highly recommend as a cute activity while visiting Paris!
This was a great experience from start to finish and we're so grateful to our instructor Jess. She was so friendly and patient and made the whole experience really enjoyable. She was so helpful answering our questions and giving local recommendations too. Loved every minute.
The best birthday surprise of my life!! ❤️Paulette was absolutely amazing — such a perfect instructor! She explained every step so clearly, made the whole process easy to follow, and was incredibly organized. Everything went so smoothly, and the entire experience was so much fun from start to finish. And the final result? Absolutely delicious! I would 100% recommend this activity to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable experience with friends while enjoying a true French experience!
This was an excellent and fun experience to make our own macarons. Paulette (our instructor) was so informative and she made this a fun experience for all. We had a great time! Highly recommend for others.
Very hands on experience. Small group (5) made it fun and easy. We learned a lot and left with 40 macarons. Super great activity. (Our group included 18-74, all adults)
We have a great time learning to make macarons. Paulette is very friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. My family enjoyed our time making macarons.
The workshop was very fun. We were with 3 generations and everyone could follow the instructions well. We were allowed to take everything we had made and it was very tasty! A nice pastry chef who explained everything well and took care of the complicated things for her (such as adding the sugar syrup to the proteins at the correct temperature to make the meringue). Foolproof workshop!
Superb experience in making macarons. Good atmosphere , to do as a couple or family. We recommend this experience 100%
