  • 5/5 from Michael Blandino, attended Mar 2026: Our teacher was great, very informative, and helpful as they went around to demonstrate.
  • 5/5 from Heidi Goodson, attended Feb 2026: Fun class! The instructor was great.
  • 5/5 from Timothy Dalesandro, attended Feb 2026: Class was wonderful. The teacher was very helpful and provided great feedback throughout the class. Definitely resist the urge to eat too many because they taste so much better after they’ve had a chance to chill.
  • 5/5 from Patricia Blanco, attended Jan 2026: Chef Yuhe was amazing! My favorite were the black sesame macarons, but all were delicious and he made this experience very enjoyable, easy to follow. His instructions were very clear and concise. Looking forward to more classes!
  • 5/5 from Tashi Phuntsho, attended Nov 2025: Thanks great class
  • 5/5 from Brianna Henry, attended Nov 2025: So fun!! The class was instructed really well and we learned a lot.
  • 4/5 from Gemma Digiovanna, attended Nov 2025: It was great!
  • 5/5 from Denise Kravitsky, attended Oct 2025: The class was fun and relaxing. The person running the class was so helpful and nice. Would definitely recommend and do it again
  • 5/5 from Laura C Daza, attended Jun 2025: We really enjoyed the class! Su was a great instructor and made the class feel comfortable and fun. It was a great activity to learn to make delicious treats and to bond with friends! Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Christine Love, attended Apr 2025: Great class! Chef Su did an excellent job demonstrating the proper techniques for making macarons and then checking in at each table of students individually to make sure we were doing it correctly. He advised when we needed additional mixing or how to hold the piping sleeve properly. The result was dozens of delicious macarons in multiple hues and flavors. FYI, in class the students make just the macaron shells. There's a demo of how to prepare the butter cream filling, but batches of filling had been made ahead for the class to use on their macarons.
  • 5/5 from Betina Lin, attended Mar 2025: Really cute
  • 5/5 from Liam Schorr, attended Mar 2025: Amazing class!! Very organized and well put together.
  • 5/5 from Oluwatobi Sholola, attended Feb 2025: Fun and so worth it.
