Macarons, those delectably light, meringue based cookies from France, involve a series of sophisticated techniques that can take time and practice to perfect. You often see them only at the best bakeries; they’re particularly fussy, even for the most seasoned of pastry chefs. But learning to make macarons will be simplified with Allison’s tried and true recipes, tips, and step-by-step instructions. This class is designed to help you succeed in mastering the macaron. Allison will provide recipes for various flavors and fillings, so you can apply the skills you’ve learned to make macarons again and again. During the class, you will learn how to make Traditional Macarons with two different fillings as well as decorating ideas and a surprise bonus recipe! This class is just in time for Mother’s Day and would make a great gift! Each student takes home a recipe packet as well as a goodie bag of macarons. Allison will provide a variety of French themed snacks for the class.
