French Macaron Making Class

Be transported to the patisseries of Paris with this classic French Macaron class in NYC!



2.5 hours Location Manhattan Class size 16 to 28 guests   $65 - $89 ($65 for Public class; $89 for Private class)

Don your chef aprons, grab your whisks and let's get baking macarons! In this fun and interactive baking class in Manhattan, you will learn the fine art to making these mouthwatering morsels that are easy enough to be done in your own kitchen!
Together with our classically trained Pastry Chef Instructor, we will demystify the making of these highly sought-after meringue-based sandwich cookies. Our Pastry Chef Instructor will take you through a detailed demonstration before you replicate the process of meringue mixing, otherwise known as 'macaronage', piping, baking, assembling and of course, eating! Fillings for your macarons will be provided, such as chocolate ganache, raspberry jam and dulce de leche.
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.
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).
If you're looking for fun date ideas, gift ideas, or activities for special events, this fun and light-hearted class will sweeten your day!

  • 5/5 from Wendy Li, attended Jul 2025: Great class even kids could really enjoyed it!
  • 5/5 from Jessica Montalvo, attended May 2025: Sweet Date Day in the City – Macaron Class Delight! ️️️️️ I surprised my husband with a macaron-making class for a fun date day in the city, and we had such a lovely time! The class was hands-on and really enjoyable—we got to work together mixing ingredients, piping the macarons, and learning the process step by step. The instructor was thorough, patient, and very helpful, making the whole experience smooth and fun, even for beginners like us. It was a great way to do something different and creative together, and we even picked up a few baking tips along the way. We definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a unique date idea, a family activity, or just a sweet way to spend the day. It’s great for both kids and adults!

  • 5/5 from Christina L Solazzo, attended Sep 2024: We went for a friend's bday present experience. The instructor was great! He demonstrated what we had to do and made sure we were on track. We had a fun time, and the macarons came out well! Thanks for a great experience!
  • 5/5 from Nekia Rice, attended Aug 2024: This was a wonderful experience for my daughter and I. We would do this again the next time we are in New York City
  • 5/5 from Margery Walters-Marcelin, attended Jun 2024: This class was a fun event for our 50 and over group. I must say the chef/teacher took his time to give us great insight into the proper way to get perfect macarons. All in all it was a great class. I would recommend this teacher.
  • 5/5 from Elizabeth Vidal, attended May 2024: Gained much understanding with this class! I didnt think I would have made a successful batch but I did! They all came out amazing, even better than the ones I bought at a bakery! These were so cool and fun to make!
  • 5/5 from Estefany Lopez, attended Apr 2024: Loved this class So much fun would love to take another class Macaroons were delicious
  • 5/5 from Stacey Nobrega, attended Mar 2024: I was visiting my daughter who lives in NYC and we thought the class would be a fun mom/daughter activity. We were right!The instructors were all very funny and helpful. The materials were neatly set out prior to arrival and all the instructions given were easy to follow. Our table mates we fun, and everyone left with a tasty box of macaroons. The only drawback was the venue was a bit chilly
  • 5/5 from Paola Saenz, attended Feb 2024: I thoroughly enjoyed the class, providing an amazing environment to connect and make new friends. Chef Felix impressed me with his incredible experience and extensive culinary knowledge, making the overall experience truly exceptional.
  • 5/5 from Mia Kiyashka, attended Dec 2023: Felix was great at guiding everyone through making (nearly) foolproof macarons! The class was fun, informative, and the results are delicious.
  • 5/5 from John Jackson, attended Dec 2023: If you're looking for a class that takes place in a formal setting (e.g. a large training kitchen), this isn't for you. But if you'd like to make macarons in a casual setting (ours was on a terrace) where you mix pre-measured ingredients (while still learning the general rules of making macarons), this is for you! The instructor was fantastic and clearly tried to design the lesson around inclusivity, ensuring that everything (egg beaters, mixing bowls, ingredients, etc.) we used could be purchased from a local Target for $20-30. We had a drink while our macarons were baking in the oven and got to learn the basics of making this tasty treat. I would definitely try something like this again, especially with this chef.
