Macarons Baking Class in Paris

At the Renaissance era, almonds were imported to France and biscuits started to be served at the Court. 300 years later in Paris, Chef Claude Gerbet had the brilliant idea to redesign the cracky almond biscuit with two deflate and shining shells filled with a ganache or fruits purée or cream. Pierre Desfontaines, the grand-child of Louis-Ernest Ladurée started to offer this new macaron to elegant Parisian clients in his pastry shop on rue Royale… the success was immediate!

You will start by preparing and making an Italian meringue. You will learn how to whisk the batter by hand to get the right consistency once the meringue is combined with almond flour, icing sugar and egg whites. You will learn how to use a bag for piping and sizing perfect circles to get a gorgeous result once the cookies are baked. You will make light and sweet fillings, and sandwich the cookies together.

You can be very creative in making Parisian macarons in adding the flavorful filling of your choice. Chocolate, salty caramel cream, raspberry, lemon, pistachio, vanilla, coffee, chocolate and passion fruit,  lavender… the list is long!
