This 2-hour class is a great opportunity to bake with our dedicated chef instructors, learning the true art and form of the French Macaron.  We work methodically, and if the direction is able to be followed, and learners are prepared we love to see all ages in class!  (If you have a really young baker please check out our class "My Adult and Me Baking French Macarons" class, it is awesome to have families baking together) 
Because this is a critical skills class we always have two chef instructors, one lead, and one moderator to ensure everything runs smoothly in classes with more than 4 enrolled.  As chefs and pastry instructors we have been teaching brick and mortar, and virtually for over 16 years, and we absolutely get a huge kick out of it. The simple fact is, we love teaching our young learners the art and magic in all kinds of pastry.  

*PARENTS*
Please read the *entire description + required equipment and inventory* - you may not have the required items for this class... yet!  
This course is for bakers ready to challenge themselves. Some baking experience is helpful. Like real pastry chefs, your learners will be using metric scales and measures so please read the full class description so you know what to expect and what your learner will need for equipment and inventory.  
**There are no volume measures for this class.  A kitchen scale with gram measures is a required piece of equipment as is a candy thermometer.**

*SKILL LEVEL*
Perfect for advanced student bakers who have already conquered French meringue technique and want to up their game and repertoire, looking to learn new skills, and experienced bakers looking to master a new and impressive dessert. We are absolutely looking for those over-achievers.  Learners who are really dedicated to this art - we want to help you succeed.

*OVERVIEW*
Your kids are about to discover how to master the art of the French Macaron with the Italian Technique! It will be both a fun challenge and develop some incredible skills in the kitchen that will stay with them forever. Macarons are tricky, but with a few handy tips they will soon be making perfect macarons every time. Let's make YOUR macarons bakery worthy! We do know that anyone can make a filled almond meringue cookie but not everyone has the skill to turn out delicious and lovely macarons each and every time with delicate lacy feet, full interiors, and that perfect crisp exterior that is both smooth and shiny - and when your learner has completed this course they surely will.  Learn the secrets from a professional pastry chef at ensuring the perfect rise, the correct temps, the ideal meringue. 

Students will follow our easy step-by-step instructions, including an overhead camera view, and learn important tips and secrets to succeed as a chef. Please see the Learner Supply List below which outlines the ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT your learner will need to proceed.  

*ABOUT*
