It was so much fun. The instructor was excellent and so knowledgeable. The kids enjoyed it as much as I did. The only thing was that the location was hard to find.

Backing class with no baking
Belinda_b, Apr 2024
There is no baking in this class it’s watching, with pre/backed macarons. All we did was mix. We attended class at the end of the day at 5pm. We felt the instructor did not want to be there. I’m sure there are more authentic and interactive classes around.
Didn't get services paid for
Kate_M, Apr 2024
Bought 4 tickets, 2 adults, 2 children, and only the 2 kids were allowed to participate. I asked twice for 4 place settings and was told no, so we'll be charging a portion of this back to our credit card as we didn't receive the services paid for. In addition, the woman's English was not great and she was very soft spoken, made it nearly impossible to understand her. Overall very disappointing
Excellent

What a fun experience for our whole family. Very glad we took time to do this and we learned how to make macarons at home!

Instructor was very knowledgeable and good with the children. Appreciated all of her tips, tips that I'll apply to baking overall.
More a demonstration than a workshop
Crina_B, Aug 2023
The workshop is not really a workshop, it's more like a demostration of how to make the macaron meringue. The girl who runs it is lovely, but the experience in itself - we thought - is not really worth the money. The hands-on experience is mixing the filling and filling up 2 macarons each. My daughter thought it was dissapointing that for 2 people (1 adult and 1 child) we got 8 round cookies, so basically 4 macarons. We wrongly thought that a macaron contains both cookies :). The good thing is that we got the receipe.

Not worth it
Keri_G, Nov 2022
I was very disappointed with this experience. I purchased eight tickets however, only four people were able to participate. Scam??? And you don’t actually make the macaron you are told how it’s made and you watch her make the dough for the cookie but then she gives you a shell to use so there’s really no cooking involved except for mixing of some butter and sugar for the inside. With that being said it is horrible that I purchased eight tickets and only four people were able to mix the icing. It was a waste of time and money and I do not recommend this experience. I have seen other more expensive ones and they probably are worth the money.
SO much fun!
