The class was pretty good and the instructor was very knowledgeable. However, I had trouble finding the location of the class in Galeris Lafayette so it would be helpful to provide more clear directions to the class in the app as well as the confirmation email. Overall, great class though!

It was a very fun and informative class. Would have enjoyed actually whipping up the meringue ourselves instead of watching. We piped the wafers and mixed the fillings though. Taste testing was the best! Left with 4 macrons each. Would recommend this activity!

Lovely knowledgeable teacher, shared some great tips. You don’t actually make the macarons, just the filling, while the teacher talks you through the process of making the shells. Really nice relaxed atmosphere and suitable for younger children to have a go!
