FAQ

Do I need any baking experience to join the Giant Macarons Class?
This class is perfect for beginners and first-timers. Everything is explained step-by-step in a relaxed, supportive environment. There's a max of 4 students at each class so there's lots of 1:1 guidance at every stage.
What if I've tried macarons before and they haven't worked?
That’s incredibly common and exactly why many people join our in person classes. We spend time explaining why things work (and don’t) with lots of bakers tips, so you’re not just following a recipe. Most students say this clarity is the biggest takeaway.
