  • French Macaron Step-by-Step Class

    Reviewed by Luis A. G. on 2/18/2024
    It was a fantastic class. Chelly was marvelous! Very, very knowledgeable and resourceful. With her help I was finally able to bake a perfect macaron. Thank you so much. Love!
  • French Macaron Step-by-Step Class

    Reviewed by Anna I. on 12/24/2023
    I love the class! The instructions were very easy to follow, and I was really amazed at how well the macarons turned out! Chelly was very attentive to what I was doing, and her advice and tips were helpful in achieving the crispy macaron shells that taste and look like real macarons, with nice feet, chewy insides, and crunchy outsides. I tried baking macarons before, but they turned out flat and hard, similar to a cookie. It is not easy to achieve the right dough consistency, which is key to successful macaron shells. Having someone on your side along the way is super helpful. Chelly helped me to understand what consistency I needed to achieve. Also, once she learned that I have a convection oven, she helped me adjust the temperature so the macarons are baked at the right speed. I highly recommend Chelly's master class to anyone who wants to try making macarons for the first time. She probably has baked thousands of macarons and taught numerous people, so she can set you up for success right away. I'm so glad to have delicious macarons for our Christmas dinner today!
