Would like to have left with more than 4 macarons and had more choice/variety in flavor options.

Wonderful class! I’m a lifelong baker and I still learned new tips. Our instructor, Marie, was lovely and the Macarons were delicious!

Unfortunately, we didn't follow every step that leads to good results. The dough was prepared in advance and only the cream was homemade. It only took us an hour instead of 1.5.

nice activity to do in Paris, however there were not enough robots available for everyone but there was only one demonstration one, so in fact the only thing we really did was make the disks with the (Read More)piping bag (containing the dough created by the chef in front of us), the filling creams and the assembly.
