Step into the sweet world of Parisian patisseries without leaving Sacramento and discover the joy of learning how to bake macarons that look as good as they taste. In this lively and interactive macaron making class, you’ll don your apron, grab a whisk, and dive into the delicate art of creating these airy, meringue-based almond sandwich cookies. Guided by a classically trained pastry chef, you’ll master the magic of macaronage, perfect your piping, bake to perfection, and assemble your creations with confidence -- then savor every bite.
Along the way, you’ll explore different fillings and flavors that make macarons the ultimate indulgence, all while learning the history behind these iconic treats -- from their Italian Renaissance origins to the celebrated Parisian tea shop, Ladurée. This macaron class is a hands-on, fun, and approachable experience that makes one of the most elegant desserts completely accessible.
Perfect for date ideas, fun outings with friends, or solo adventures, this class is among the best things to do in Sacramento for food lovers and dessert enthusiasts alike. Walk away with the skills to recreate the best macarons in Sacramento right in your own kitchen and a delicious new hobby that’s as sweet as it is satisfying!
Please Note:
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the baking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing). You will work with other students in groups of 2-4. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, especially if you’re part of a large group.

  • 5/5 from Amanda Bujtor, attended Apr 2026: I’ll start by saying I’m not a good cook. I just don’t have the patience for it. But Chef T made this class fun, entertaining and totally accessible. Her lectures gave us what we need to know and were quick paced and fun. Everything was well organized and easy to use when making our macarons. At the end of the class I was surprised that I could make these intimidating cookies, which tasted delicious! Thank you!
