These include: Precision and Attention to Detail: Macaron-making demands careful measurement and precise techniques, teaching kids to be detail-oriented and patient. Math and Science: Understanding measurements and following recipes involve practical math skills, and the science of baking helps kids grasp cause-and-effect relationships. Fine Motor Skills: The delicate art of piping macaron batter and assembling the cookies improves hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Creativity: Kids can experiment with various flavors, colors, and designs, fostering their creativity and innovation. Patience and Resilience: The journey to perfect macarons may involve a few failed attempts, teaching kids resilience and the value of learning from mistakes. Organization: Preparing and following a recipe, organizing ingredients, and managing time efficiently are crucial life skills that kids can develop. Teamwork: If cooking with friends or family, kids learn to collaborate, share responsibilities, and appreciate the joys of working together in the kitchen. Cultural Appreciation: Exploring the world of French macarons introduces kids to different cultures and their culinary traditions. Confidence: Successfully creating a delicious batch of macarons boosts kids' self-esteem and empowers them to tackle new challenges. Attention to Hygiene and Safety: Learning the importance of cleanliness and safety in the kitchen is an essential life skill that ensures a safe cooking environment. These skills not only make for great macaron chefs but also contribute to well-rounded, capable individuals.
We are professional chef instructors by trade and love learning (and sharing) different methods of food and bake preparation.
While prior experience with macarons isn't necessary, having basic baking skills and a good sense of humor is helpful.
3 files available upon enrollmentRequired 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.
Our 'Macaron Mastery: A Week to Perfectly Delicious' class is designed to be a fun and educational experience for young learners.
