Marvelous Macaron
 

Light, crisp, chewy, and oh-so-pretty—French macarons are the ultimate baking flex. In this 3.5-hour class, join pastry chef Shanna Avila of Crumbs & Crumbles Bakery as you demystify the macaron and learn how to make these colorful sandwich cookies from scratch.

What’s on the menu:

  • Macaron Shells – We’ll walk through each step of the macaron-making process—from whipping the meringue to folding the batter just right and getting those signature “feet” during baking.

  • Fillings – Once your shells are baked, you’ll learn to fill them with delicious buttercreams, ganaches, or jams, and assemble them into bakery-worthy treats.

  • Tips, Troubleshooting & Decorating – Learn how to avoid hollow shells, cracked tops, and other common issues. We’ll also have fun with colors and presentation so your macarons look as good as they taste.

By the end of class, you’ll understand the key techniques and timing that make macarons work—and leave with your own box of beautiful cookies to show off and share (or not, we won’t judge).

This will be a hands on class and will last about 3.5 hours.
