  • 5/5 from Susan Kornfeld, attended Sep 2026: We loved this class!! We were a group of 5 doing a company offsite, and this was the perfect afternoon activity to cap off the day. Marie-Anne was so communicative throughout the planning process, and on the day of we didn’t have to think much about anything. She had all the ingredients prepped and ready, she had fun stories to share, and she was so lovely in giving our team space to connect while also stepping in to help when we needed it. Would highly recommend to other groups!!
  • 5/5 from Edith Munoz, attended Aug 2026: I’ve had a French macaron class with Marie-Anne Aizac and she is amazing. I got this class for my husbands parents and they loved it!

  • 5/5 from Janine Weston, attended Jul 2026: Today's private baking class was a "sweet" reunion with some of our most precious friends and family. It was the perfect opportunity to reconnect and revitalize our relationships through learning something new to all of us, how to make macarons! Marie Anne was organized, punctual, patient, sensitive to the needs of her students, and supportive through the entire learning process. We gleaned many helpful pro-baking tips, laughed until our cheeks hurt, and left with boxes of beautiful macarons and lifted spirits! We will definitely be back again for more delightful baking with Marie Anne!
  • 5/5 from Eli Hervas, attended Jun 2026: We went for a friend's birthday and it was amazing! Even though we were a larger group, we were walked through the process and all got to contribute to making the base for all the macarons. We then each got our own personal bowl to finish off making our own batter! We were chatting and laughing the whole time :) Marie-Anne made it so enjoyable and educational, even providing a quick snack and drink outside while we waited for the macarons to bake! Of course everything was so yummy, and even if a few weren't perfect, Marie-Anne made sure everyone left with a box they were proud of! Genuinely such a pleasant experience I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone!
  • 5/5 from Natalia Bogolasky, attended Jun 2026: What a Fantastic experience, and the most delicious macaroons! Highly recommend and will definitely repeat soon.
  • 5/5 from Nathalie Schlemer, attended Jun 2026: I attended a macaron baking birthday party and it was the most fun, educational and delicious way to celebrate our friend and to meet new ones. Marianne is the ultimate expert in creating the perfect atmosphere and keeping everyone on task so our macarons turn out perfect! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn and create fun memories! What a unique way to celebrate a friend or loved one!
  • 5/5 from Lisa Ryder, attended Jun 2026: I was never a macaron fan until I made them with Marieanne at Petit Chou. They were so fun to make and absolutley scrumptous! Marieanne is an excellent instructor and made it so easy and enjoyable. Thank you! Lisa R
  • 5/5 from Tamra Albright, attended May 2026: Best Mother’s Day macaron baking class! Marie-Anne was an amazing instructor who made every step fun and easy to follow. Our macarons came out beautiful, delicious, and almost too pretty to eat!
  • 5/5 from Erica Preus, attended May 2026: I CANNOT say enough about our French Macaron class we attended at Petit Chou! I brought my 10 year old daughter and we both had such a fun time and learned a ton (I will say, my daughter has been baking with me for years and is pretty proficient for a kid, so this might not be for every 10 year old, since macarons can be tricky). We have made macarons a few times at home a few times, so my husband bought us this class for Christmas as a mommy/daughter date - we left so excited to try again with the new knowledge we gained at the class. It was informative, well paced, and the perfect mix of hands on instruction and demonstration. Cannot wait to come back for another class here!
  • 5/5 from Lankavi Moore, attended May 2026: Fun class! The macarons were delicious and we loved the instructor!
  • 5/5 from Angela Arnold, attended May 2026: For my son's 10th birthday we scheduled a private macaron class for our family and a friend. The experience was excellent from start to finish. We each walked away with beautiful macarons that we had made and decorated ourselves. The pacing of the class was fantastic. Marianne made it fun throughout. We were always doing something or learning something. There was never a point in which our crowd grew bored. The ability to customize our macarons with colors and decorations was a big hit. The adults and kids in our group were all so proud of what they made at the end. I couldn't recommend this experience more.
  • 5/5 from Matt Stodder, attended Apr 2026: Great class, great teacher and great tasting macarons. I would take another class with this teacher another time.
  • 5/5 from Elisa Muntoni, attended Apr 2026: Loved the class! Easy to follow, small and intimate, we made great macarons, can't wait to replicate the recipe at home
  • 5/5 from Helen Kim, attended Apr 2026: I attended this macaron-making class on my own and had such a great experience. The class size was small, which made it feel very personal and allowed for a truly hands-on learning environment. During a short break, the instructor provided snacks and drinks, which created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere to connect with others in the class. She also took the time to come over and chat with us, which made the whole experience feel even more engaging and genuine. Overall, it was a wonderful class, I learned a lot and genuinely enjoyed every moment. I would highly recommend it!
  • 5/5 from Aparajita Nath, attended Apr 2026: i celebrated my daughter's birthday at Petit Chou and all the kids loved it. Thanks to Marie for making the party so fun and exciting.
  • 5/5 from Danielle Jehdian, attended Apr 2026: Such a fun class!! Came here with friends for a birthday and it was amazing!! Marie-Anne was so wonderful, it was a pleasure getting to know her and her class was made so easy to follow along to!
  • 5/5 from Leeann Kelly, attended Mar 2026: I had such a great time at the French macaron baking class yesterday. Our instructor was fantastic—she really took the time to walk us through each step in a way that felt approachable and easy to follow. The small class size was a huge plus for me, making it feel more personal and easy to learn. I learned so much and looking forward to taking another class with her again!

  • 5/5 from Erica Janowicz, attended Mar 2026: Marie-Anne was so informative, warm, helpful, and encouraging! She really walked us through every step of the process, giving tips and demonstrations that helped me feel very confident while making macarons. My only note was that class ran 45 minutes over; which isn't ideal, but it was still a great experience. And it was very easy to sign up using my gift card!
  • 5/5 from Francesca Strack, attended Feb 2026: I had such a wonderful experience with this macaron baking class! The instructor broke down what can feel like a very intimidating process into clear, manageable steps, and I left feeling confident instead of overwhelmed. I especially appreciated the detailed explanations about technique. The class was hands-on, well-paced, and full of helpful tips that you just don’t get from watching videos at home. It was also a lot of fun! A great mix of learning and enjoying the process (and of course tasting the results!). I’d absolutely recommend this class to anyone who’s ever wanted to master macarons.

  • 5/5 from Jordan Carter-Reich, attended Jan 2026: Marie-Anne was a fantastic teacher who really knew the macron making process inside and out. We had a group of a couple different ages (kids, teens, and adults) and she worked wonderfully with them all. Her instructions were insightful, really giving a detailed look into the finer aspects of making these. Thank you, Marie-Anne!
  • 5/5 from Caela, attended Dec 2025: C’est magnifique! Our instructor was highly knowledgeable and helped us create little macaron masterpieces pretty enough to display in a patisserie window. The experience includes thoughtful touches and my friends and I had a great time.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Orawczyk, attended Dec 2025: This was a fun hands on class. Marie-Anne was a great teacher spending time explaining not only how but why for each step. I left feeling confident enough to try to make macarons at home by myself.

We started off making chocolate ganache and mixing our macaron dough, then piped out our cookies, lightly baked them, and finally added our fillings.

I would recommend this class for anyone interested!

The class so much fun and Marie-Anne is a friendly, helpful teacher. She had amazing tricks for the piping bags! I went on my own and immediately felt welcome to the group.

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!
