READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING - The Germain de Pres location is currently under renovation. If you select this location when booking your class, you will actually have to go to one of their other locations. Some people do not know this and show up at the wrong spot, as the ticketing system still allows you to book the closed location. I emailed them after booking to confirm all is okay for my upcoming class, and they notified me of the location change. Otherwise, I would have showed up at the wrong spot!

Great class for a baker of any skill level who loves macarons! - Great experience! It wound up being just my friend and I so we were blessed with a private baking lesson. The instructor was wonderful, facility was clean and had everything we needed. The best part is the macarons came out perfectly! We left feeling fully confident to bake them on our own at home. Would highly recommend!

Fun, but not quite as advertised - The instructor was great. We learned a lot and enjoyed the result—delicious macaroons. Note: The corner building does not yet have signage, but they were at the door looking for us. Also, the description says “snacks and apron provided.” If water, tea, and coffee are snacks, then it’s a good thing we stopped for a light lunch in advance or we would have been hangry. The apron provided was a plastic, one-use apron, so don’t think you’ll walk away with a nice souvenir to show your friends and family when you make macaroons for them. That is a missed opportunity, as it would be a nice way to drum up additional business. The class was not inexpensive, but we had a great time. I would recommend it, but be aware this seems to be a newer business working out the kinks.

Recommend - The instructor was very good. The macaroons turned out really well. The lighting was poor and very warm. But good class. They need to have the recipe to read in English. I still have not received the recipe. Would recommend the class.
