This workshop involves demonstration and hands-on involvement, where you will discover the secrets behind creating these delectable treats. From mastering the perfect macaron shell to creating sweet fillings, you'll be equipped with the skills to impress your family and friends.
Suitable for beginners, this class is designed to be fun and uplifting, guiding you through the process step-by-step. You'll gain an understanding of the techniques and ingredients involved. We'll provide all the materials and take-home instructions, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm and a touch of creativity.
During the workshop, you'll get to practise your macaron making skills under the guidance of our experienced home cook. The atmosphere will be relaxed and friendly, making you feel at ease as you experiment with different flavours, colours, and fillings.

At classes from January to October, the class will decide on the day between two of the following flavours - vanilla, lemon, passion fruit or Turkish delight. Christmas classes are run in November and December. At the Christmas class, you will learn to make gingerbread and peppermint fillings and then decorate your macarons. The take-home instructions include other flavoured fillings - berry, mango, orange, lavender and honey, jaffa and whipped salted caramel.
I am available for private classes on week-days in the school holidays by request. Why not get a group of four friends together, bring some bubbly and nibbles, and enjoy a great time learning new skills? Message me to arrange a date and time.
The best part? At the end of the class, you'll get to take home some beautifully crafted macarons. Be prepared to impress your loved ones with your newfound macaron making skills.

Hi, I’m Sandra. I’m a retired teacher who has been gluten-free for over 22 years. I want to share my experience with others, particularly the newly diagnosed.
I learnt to make macarons back in 2020 from a French pâtissière chief. I am not a qualified chef but I love baking macarons and have been running classes, in my home kitchen, for a few years. I like the idea that you don’t need a commercial kitchen to make these beautiful treats. You will go away with all the skills to make beautiful macarons at home. I also provide support, through Instagram. So if you have any question after the class, you can still get help and advice.
In the future, I plan on creating classes on gluten-free cooking. I love cooking Italian and French food using gluten-free ingredients. The idea of cooking together and enjoying the fruits of our labour together is what I feel food is all about. I want to share this love with others through small group classes in my home kitchen.
Come join me for a small class in my home kitchen.
