What to expect

You'll arrive at a private fifth-floor apartment where an instructor walks you through macaron fundamentals. Expect hands-on work: mixing almond flour and egg whites, mastering the piping motion, and understanding the precise oven timing that makes or breaks these delicate pastries. Your child participates alongside you—this is genuinely collaborative, not a spectator experience. Once baked and cooled, you'll fill your shells with jelly and taste the results immediately. The session includes coffee or tea to enjoy with your finished macarons.
