Recent reviews of Character Macaron Baking Class

  • 5/5 from Emily Leung, attended Oct 2026: I have always wanted to learn how to bake and make macarons so when I came across Jesse / Meowvelous’ Character Macaron Baking Class through Instagram, I knew I had to take her class! It is a very personalized and private class where you are able to learn from a baking professional on how to make each step of the recipe. The class takes place in a cute apartment with a beautiful view of San Francisco and really puts you in a creative baking mood with the nice ambiance. I loved how patient, kind, and knowledgeable Jesse was when explaining the process to the class especially for someone like me who is a complete beginner. She is very meticulous with her work, and explained each step slowly and if you needed help, you can raise your hand and Jesse would be able to help guide you through the process. 10/10 class and would definitely recommend to those with or without baking experience!
  • 5/5 from Desirae Psenitchi, attended Oct 2026: This was a fun class! I'm relatively new to making macarons and this class was great for a beginner! I appreciated the detailed overview of swiss meringue, now it's much less daunting to try this at home. Jess was lovely as a teacher and the characters are super cute. I'd definitely like to take another class in another season!
  • 5/5 from Samanda Vazquez, attended Oct 2026: It was my first time going to a baking class and I loved it! I learned so much and Jesse is so knowledgeable so any questions asked were answered. She makes the sessions small and intimate and guides throughout the whole process and demonstrates on each person's work!
  • 5/5 from Danielle Herman-Orange, attended Oct 2026: This was a great class! I don’t have experience with making macarons and Jessie was so informative and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to sign up for another class.
  • 5/5 from Jocelyn Yang, attended Oct 2026: Had an INCREDIBLE time baking with Jesse! Her character macaron class was definitely the highlight of my month. I'm not an experienced baker, and everything turned out amazing!! My friend and I were joking that we'd be adding the experience to our respective diaries :) Great explanation of the swiss macaron technique: She's a great teacher, and really gave me the confidence to bake more at home!
  • 5/5 from Leah Dineen, attended Oct 2026: Jesse puts on a great class! She teaches you step by step how to make the macarons, and what to look for at every stage. Her designs are super cute, but still doable for beginners. The class size is small, so she is able to go around and give you tips as you make the macarons. Would definitely recommend!

The whole class was 3 hours and it flew by. I definitely recommend taking this class!
  • 5/5 from Grace Park, attended Sep 2026: We all had so much fun!! It was everyone's first time making macarons and Jesse made the class so informative and fun that the time went by so fast.

In the end we all left with adorable delicious macarons hehe I waited two days like she suggested and tried it today and they were so good! I would definitely go back to try some other classes. Jesse is super sweet and awesome :) Thank you so much Jesse!

I highly recommend to anyone interested in any part of the macaron process!!!! Jesse is super sweet!!!

  • 5/5 from Megan Yap, attended Aug 2026: It was amazing! Loved the class.
  • 5/5 from Christopher Rivas, attended Aug 2026: Loved the experience.
  • 4/5 from Avisha, attended Aug 2026: This class was so much fun. The instructor is sweet and gentle, and the space is beautiful. The macarons turned out amazing, and decorating them was a blast. My one note: this is more of a macaron piping and decorating class than a class on making macarons from scratch. Because there's only one induction burner and double boiler, you mostly watch her measure ingredients and whip up the batter. Many of the batters and fillings are also pre-made. She demos the process, then you head to your workstation to decorate and assemble.
  • 5/5 from Nicole Clark, attended Jul 2026: Our teacher was super friendly. She welcomed us and we got started making the macarons. She was helpful showed us how to pipe we learned how to mix the dough correctly. What to look for highly recommend class super fun.
