Discover the secrets of the sophisticated Parisian macaron in this intensive one-day workshop! Learn macarons based on both French and Italian meringues as well as valuable techniques such as macaronage, piping, and baking guidelines. Practice is very important to create consistent results especially in this temperamental confection, and this class is designed for students to mix up to 4 batches of macaron batter following the instructor’s demonstration. At the end of day, a colorful array of macarons is assembled with multiple flavors of fillings such as raspberry, pistachio, rose and dark chocolate ginger. Each student will go home with formulas used in the class, a piping template and a box of at least 40 assembled macarons.
