Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this french cooking class:

Not to be confused with the coconut macaroon, the macaron is a sweet meringue-based confection made with egg whites, icing sugar, and almond powder or ground almond. Characterized by a smooth, rounded top, ruffled perimeter, and flat-footed base, it is mildly moist and chewy. 

The macaron is commonly filled with ganache, buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two biscuits. Chef Rachel will guide you to success creating this traditional French confection and you will take a home a box of your very own! A light lunch will be provided.

On the menu: 

  • Classic Almond Macaron with Chocolate Ganache and 
  • Hazelnut Macaron with Vanilla Bean Swiss Buttercream

Refund Policy

No refunds or store credits within 72 hours prior to the class.
