Come dressed in your Halloween costume as we learn how to make french macarons! ⚠️ Allergy warning: macarons do contain nuts. ⚠️ Pre caution: make sure to use heat protective oven mitts when using the oven to avoid burns. ⚠️Masks are welcome, however, masks should be removed for identification during the first four minutes of class to meet safety and privacy policies ⚠️If your learner is not using a squeezable food coloring, please be advised that we will need to use a butter knives or toothpicks to get the gel color out of the container. Please make sure that it is not a sharp knife for safety. If your learner has taken a beginners Macaron class they should do well in this class. It may be difficult for first time macaron learners, but I am willing to help along the way. This is not a foolproof class. Macarons are very tricky and finicky cookies to make. It took me a month to learn how to perfect these cookies. If your learners cookies do not come out “perfect” that is okay. I will be a very proud teacher no matter how the Macarons come out. I am available after class if your learner needs any additional help. For this class please make sure everything is pre-measured and weighed out. Please make sure all items are out and ready to go as well. If items are not weighed out or ready to go I will have to transfer you into another class. This is to help our class run smoothly so we can finish on time. The pre-measurements will be posted in our classroom once your learner has signed up for our class. We will learn how to make the character design but we will not be baking it due to a drying time of 30-45 minutes. You will have homework for this class. Your homework is to bake your Macarons and send a finished picture of how they come out. I cannot wait to teach your learner how to make these fun Halloween macarons. Can you learner guess what character I will be dressed up as?
