Step into a sweet Parisian daydream right here in Houston and learn how to make macarons that look as good as they taste! In this hands-on macaron making class, you’ll discover how to bake macarons with confidence, guided by a friendly, classically French–trained Pastry Chef Instructor who knows all the tricks to achieving those perfect chewy centers and smooth, glossy shells. You’ll master the art of macaronage (yes, it’s as fancy as it sounds), piping, baking, filling, assembling, and -- most importantly -- eating your colorful creations!
Whether you’re a baking beginner or the unofficial dessert hero in your friend group, we’ll support you every step of the way. All equipment and ingredients are provided, and everything we use can be easily found later in local markets so you can recreate the magic at home. Exploring buttercream, ganache, and fruity fillings keeps things fun and customizable, helping your treats rival the best macarons in Houston.
It’s one of the most fun things to do in Houston -- perfect for friends, foodies, and date ideas that go beyond dinner and a movie. Arrive 15 minutes early, bring your creativity (and optional wine or bubbly if you’re 21+), and get ready to bake memories you can snack on later!
