Delicious experience! The instructor was personable and had a very clear and engaging class. Making macrons is more time consuming then I realized.

Marie was a lovely teacher, very kind and explained the process of making the macaron shells and ganache in an easy and accessible manner. Equipment and recipes was all provided, a very fun activity indeed.

Emily_C

We were a little underwhelmed with this experience and what we got to do in the class. It was only about an hour long and not too much hands on. We also we scolded for filming during the class which seemed odd since we paid to learn and were capturing memories?

Very disappointed for the money. Cold decor, dificult to understand her English. No atmosphere and no warm welcome . The info about macarons was very good, but the process… we only had to mix butter wit some ingredients. Therefore the money was not worth

We had such a fun time making French macarons, and we learned so much. My daughter is excited to come home and spend a day in the kitchen with friends showing them what she learned. Our teacher was knowledgeable and kind. The setting was nice as well, nestled in a corner of this huge department store in Paris. Definitely recommend this to others!

I should have read these reviews before going as I was expecting to actually have a go at baking macarons. Instead, we watched the instructor mix the ingredients and then all we did was to put a teaspoon of ganache onto pre-made macaron shells. The instructor was lovely and very knowledgeable but it's a shame we couldn't make our own. We came away with 4 pre-made macarons each and a recipe card but it's not worth the price at all. I don't think a baking class is an accurate description - it's more like a partial demonstration and talk.

If you don’t know Paris it’s confusing to find. Due to this we were late and missed some of the instruction. What we did participate in we thoroughly enjoyed. I was with my 17 year old granddaughter.

Christine_H

It was fun although I wish it could have been more "hands on" other than just whisking the ganache and making only 4 macaroons The recipe provided at the end of the class was a nice touch.

Pat_G

Just learning how to do it and in such a simple instruction method. We only speak English and the instructor was very accommodating. We were very happy we got the recipe and got to taste and bring some macaroons home. It was a comfortable location with people from a variety of places.

Nicole_R

A hands on experience piping out macaron shells and mixing the ganache. Very informative and so unique. Our teacher Aurelie was super informative and friendly. Great activity for the whole family
