Recent reviews of Cute Character Macaron Making Class

  • 5/5 from Linda Lapetino, attended Nov 2026: Marie is an incredible teacher, so thorough and organized. She has so much enthusiasm, love and experience for french baking. I was a wondeful class. Really enjoyed it...
  • 5/5 from Sienna Tsan, attended Oct 2026: Marie Anne's class was absolutely amazing! My friend and I had a really lovely time. Marie Ann was knowledgable and fun. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and loves teaching! She answered all of our questions and the macarons came out great. Not only were they delicious they also came out so cute! We enjoyed our time and appreciated that it was Halloween themed. It was nice to know that the class changes often enough to see other people who have been to her class before. The best part was taking our treats (and the recipe home) while enjoying some of them fresh out of the oven. I would love to take her class again. Thank you again Marie Anne!
  • 5/5 from Eleni Mavromati, attended Oct 2026: The class was very easy to follow. The instructor answered questions and gave tips. Very fun!
  • 5/5 from Caroline Goins, attended Oct 2026: Such a fun and unique experience! The macaron-making class was incredibly hands-on, and our instructor made everything easy to follow while still keeping the atmosphere relaxed and fun. I loved getting to decorate the macarons and put our own spin on the characters, and they turned out SO cute! This would be such a fun activity for a girls’ day, date, birthday, or just something different to do in LA. The whole experience felt creative and welcoming, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cute, memorable activity!
  • 5/5 from Anne-Elisa Yeager, attended Sep 2026: What a wonderful and creative activity! Marie-Anne is a knowledgeable and patient teacher, making this class lots of fun and setting everyone up for success regardless of level of experience. We will be back for sure!

  • 5/5 from Penny Amescua, attended Sep 2026: Loved the Cute Character Macaron Class! Great for small groups of adults and teens. Marie-Ann was personable and enthusiastic, and we picked up great tips and techniques. Personalizing our characters was so much fun, and the final treats were as delicious as they were cute!
  • 5/5 from Kimberley Kim, attended Sep 2026: Had a great time making cute macarons with Marie-Anne! She was so fun, gave really clear instructions and helpful tips, and the macarons were delicious.

  • 5/5 from Clara Lee, attended Aug 2026: This was such a fun class and our teacher was so sweet and helpful along the entire process. I would absolutely recommend this for anyone who is looking to create adorable and tasty treats!
  • 5/5 from Charley Swan, attended Aug 2026: My friend and I had such a fun time at this macaron-making class! We went to celebrate her birthday, and we had an absolute blast. The teacher was so nice, patient, and helpful, and the instructions were easy to follow even for beginners. I especially loved making the cute fruit patterns. They turned out adorable and were delicious! The small class size made the experience feel personal and relaxed, and it was so much fun getting to create something together. Such a great activity for a birthday celebration or a fun day with a friend. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Nyreese Arzu, attended Aug 2026: Class was great! Very informative and fun. Marie-Anne is a lovely teacher and excellent teacher.
  • 5/5 from Margaret Hardin, attended Jul 2026: Teacher made it seem simple - it was fun to do the novel shapes for a macaron and using multiple colors. Enjoyed the fillings - especially the strawberry.
  • 4/5 from Kristin Nelson, attended Jul 2026: I attended the cute macaron class, and it was a decent experience. As a self-taught home baker, I was eager to learn the techniques to make macarons at home, having previously failed in my attempts. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the teacher was friendly and knowledgeable. I gained a lot of valuable insights during the class. Everything seemed perfect until our macarons emerged from the oven. Unfortunately, everyone’s macarons were disappointing—cracked, hollow, and lacking in chewiness and substance. I was deeply disappointed. Honestly, after that point, I didn’t care about the decorations or the filling. I was as sad and deflated as the macarons themselves. The instructor attributed the poor results to the weather conditions. It was a hot day with some drizzle outside, making the air more humid than usual. While it’s true that weather can affect macaron batter and baking, I couldn’t help but wonder why the doors to the studio were left wide open. If weather impacts macaron batter, why not use the air conditioning to control the humidity and temperature? Perhaps it’s a fire code issue, considering that the oven resembles a commercial-grade portable oven rather than a standard home oven. Overall, the experience was okay, but the disappointing outcome made me doubt everything. Until I try making macarons at home myself using the techniques I learned, I won’t be able to determine whether the weather was the culprit or if the recipe and technique were flawed. Based on old reviews and pictures from previous class participants, I have to believe that the instructor was right, and the weather was to blame. However, it’s hard to accept this because I’m essentially trusting a stranger who ultimately let me down. If there had been warnings, disclaimers, or serious attempts to warn me about the possibility of not achieving great results at the beginning of class, I wouldn’t feel as strongly as I do now. On a positive note, the macarons were tasty. We had both ganache and strawberry buttercream fillings, and thankfully, they tasted great. That saved the disappointing appearance of the macarons. Had I had a flawless experience, I would have been more inclined to enroll in one of her other classes. However, this particular experience has made me hesitant. Nevertheless, I would still recommend this class as a fun activity to do in the Los Angeles area if you enjoy baking. It’s important to note that my experience is entirely unique and that my intentions for taking this class are likely to be in the minority.
  • 5/5 from Katie, attended Jun 2026: This was a great class! Very informative and just fun. Marie-Ann is a good teacher! Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 from Cora Macdonald, attended Jun 2026: This class made making maracrons seem easy while also being very informative I highly recommend!!!
  • 5/5 from Patricia Yamasaki, attended Jun 2026: Marie-Anne was an excellent instructor. She clearly explained the key techniques needed to make successful macarons and avoid mistakes that can cause them to fail. I especially appreciated her teaching style- she would first demonstrate a step and then take the time to observe every student as they practiced it. Whenever someone needed assistance, she would come over, watch their technique and offer helpful guidance and tips. We piped lemons, cherries and strawberries macarons. The filling used for them were chocolate ganache and coffee flavored buttercream. They were delicious but I would have also of liked to of tried the strawberry or raspberry fillings. After taking this class, I feel confident enough to try this at home.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Vaulman, attended Jun 2026: Marie-Anne provided easy to follow step-by-step instructions. Such a fun class making delicious macarons!

Once a producer behind Barbie videos at Mattel, I’ve always had a sweet spot for desserts. Growing up in the heart of Paris, I was enchanted by the city’s patisseries—sampling éclairs, macarons, and mille-feuilles with the curiosity of a true connoisseur.
Ten years ago, I traded storyboards for spatulas and earned my baking diploma from the New School of Cooking in Los Angeles. What started as a side hustle—designing whimsical birthday cakes—quickly turned into a full-time career.
Today, I blend my Parisian roots and playful spirit to teach kids and adults how to craft classic French treats in a fun, hands-on environment. Whether it’s macarons, madeleines, or choux pastry, I’ll guide you step-by-step and help demystify the art of French baking.
I’ve been teaching private classes for five years, and I recently opened my own cozy baking space in Culver City—come join me and let’s bake something beautiful!
