Have you ever wondered how pâtissiers manage to get coloured macarons so smooth, neat, and with those perfect feet? 

Well, now is your chance to find out! 

You will be able to take away the macarons you have made on the day, centered with tasty fillings, to impress your friends and family! 

This course is perfect for those who have a bit of kitchen experience and are wanting to refine their skills and recipe knowledge. In depth details of macaron making will be given with attentive instruction, and you'll also receive a troubleshooting guide, recipes and variations.We will be using the delicious Italian macaron making method, the way in which top pâtissiers create them.

Please note that this is a five hour course and focuses mainly on perfection in making the macaron shells, but gives a limited amount of time to decorate/paint the macarons. Some of the fillings will have been made the day before, but you will have all the gorgeous recipes to take away with you.

We will have a short lunch break, so bring a snack to have on the day. There are also shops adjacent if required.
