Parental Guidance
Our 'Macaron Mastery: A Week to Perfectly Delicious' class offers a fun, hands-on learning experience, guided by real chefs who have designed and filmed the videos themselves. Unlike generic online content, our lessons are crafted by the experts who teach them, ensuring a personal and professional touch throughout.
While we encourage independence in the kitchen, we recommend parental supervision, especially for younger learners, to ensure safety and a smooth process. Some recipes may contain allergens like nuts, eggs, dairy, or gluten, so please review the ingredients if needed.
This course is not just about baking—it's an opportunity for family bonding, learning kitchen skills, and fostering creativity. Your support can make the experience even more rewarding and safe for young bakers.
Pre-Requisites
While prior experience with macarons isn't necessary, having basic baking skills and a good sense of humor is helpful.
Supply List
Required Equipment List: Stand/Electric Mixer With Whisk Attachment Kitchen Scale (with GRAM measures) Bowls of various sizes Sifter or small hole sieve Piping bag with round tip Cookie Sheet(s) Parchment paper or Silpat mat(s) Macaron Template (provided) Ingredients: Almond Flour Granulated Sugar or Fine Bakers or Caster Sugar Confectioners/icing Sugar egg whites Gel Color (optional - if you want colored macarons) *Not Required But Very Helpful: Oven thermometer - Each oven is different and sometimes they bake at the wrong temperature; different from the one that was set. It’s really important to bake the shells at the proper temperature to prevent the macaron shells from cracking or drying (too high temperature), undercooking (too low temperature), etc.
