What a fantastic class we had with ‘Laura’. She is quite the expert and took us from complete novices to producing amazing looking and tasting macarons. We had great fun and learnt so much. Laura went above and beyond for us - it was awesome!
We took home a huge box of macarons and shared them with friends!

Dear Haley,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We're sorry to hear that the class didn't meet your children's expectations. While many families have told us their children thoroughly enjoyed and stayed engaged throughout the experience, we understand that every child has different interests and attention spans.
We're glad to hear you found the chef knowledgeable and kind, and we truly appreciate your comments as they help us continue improving our experiences for guests of all ages.
We had a great experience! Macarons are tough to make and the class set up made it approachable. We enjoyed being able to go through all of the steps with the instructions on how to perfect the techniques at home. We had an 11 year old and a 16 year old and both were engaged.
