Do not skip this experience! - This was amazing! My children and I love to cook and bake, and even so, I was a little concerned about how my 9-year-old would do. The instructor was patient, engaging, and energetic, and our macarons came out wonderfully!

Awesome class - I highly recommend the class. My kids, 15 and 17, and I took this class. We had a fantastic time, learned so much and made the most delicious macarons. Personally, I think the flavor of the ones we made rivaled the flavor of those that are supposedly best in Paris. Lastly, big shout out to the chef who taught us. He was just awesome. So friendly, Knowledgeable and patient.

Well worth the time and cost. - The instructor was very friendly and patient. Good with kids and families. Good at explaining what we were doing (in English for those of us not prepared to get that kind of information in French yet). And my ten-year-old felt accomplished and happy when we were done. The trouble was keeping her from eating all 10 macaron in one sitting.

Great experience - We did this with our 8 year old grandson. It was so much fun. The class was small enough that the instructor was able to individually help each person. It was so special

Inexperienced baker can do it! - Lots of fun! I was worried it would be too hard for me because I don't bake or cook, but it was great and macarons turned out well. My 10 year old son loved it too!
