Description

Macarons (not to be confused with the coconut-based macaroons!) are delicious round sweet treats that everyone enjoys.

Meet your private, experienced chef in the comfort of a private professional kitchen located in the heart of Paris, and follow their instructions to unfold the secrets to making French macarons.

From making the crispy shell to creating the creamy, tasty filling, everyone will be getting their hands deliciously dirty during this macaron-making class. Add a bit of precision, baking technique and creativity, and you will be walking away with a box full of these delicious treats in the end!

While you are making them, the chef will tell you all about the origin of the macarons and how these little bite-sized multicolored treats have become the next best thing in French pastry.

If you are looking to spend a great family-bonding hands-on experience with your teenagers in Paris, then you should definitely try our private Making French Macarons class.

FAQ's

Is this a private activity?
It sure is. Your family members will be the only ones participating in this private macaron class, along with your private chef.
Do the parents participate?
Of course! Everyone will get their hands deliciously dirty.
How much food will we make?
The quantity of macarons prepared is enough for the whole family to enjoy even after the baking class.
Is it suitable for kids under 6 years old?
It takes a bit of dexterity to get these macarons right, so we recommend not to book this activity for children below the age of 10. Instead, our Baking Bread and Croissants hands-on workshop would be the perfect fit as it is much easier, and just as nice (and delicious).
Can you make gluten free macarons?
The macarons are already gluten free!
Do we need to bring special material or ingredients?
No. All you need to bring is a big smile and the will to prepare mouth-watering macarons. We will take care of the rest.
Do we get the recipes of what we prepared?
Of course, we will send you the recipes by email once the macaron class is over (this might take a few days, especially if we need to translate the recipes).
Will my teenage kids like the activity?
Sure they will. As a matter of fact, the older they are, the better, as it takes quite a lot of accuracy to get these macarons to taste and look the way they are supposed to.
