Fun Macaron Baking and Painting Class With Local Chef in Paris
Overview
Paris has no shortage of ways to spend an afternoon. This one involves making macarons from scratch and painting them yourself, which is honestly hard to beat.
Chef Fanny, a gourmet Parisian pastry chef, walks you through every step of creating proper French macarons, from mixing and piping delicate almond meringue shells to filling them with chocolate and fruity fillings that taste as refined as anything you will find in a local patisserie. Then you will pick up a brush and turn your macarons into something entirely your own. A message, a pattern, a miniature work of art. Something that doubles as the best edible souvenir you could possibly bring home from Paris.
Creative, delicious and completely unlike anything else on your itinerary. Wine pairing available for an additional fee, just arrange in advance.

What To Expect
Macarons are one of those things that look almost too beautiful to eat. In this class you will learn to make them from scratch and then make them even more beautiful yourself. Chef Fanny, an esteemed Parisian pastry chef, will show you exactly how.
You will start by mastering the technique behind proper macaron shells, combining almond flour and egg whites into a meringue-like batter before piping, baking and filling them with chocolate and fruity fillings that taste every bit as good as the ones in the patisserie windows. Then comes the part that sets this class apart: painting your macarons. With Chef Fanny's guidance you will transform your creations into something genuinely original, the kind of edible art that makes for a perfect Parisian souvenir, a thoughtful gift or simply a very good story to bring home.
A hands-on, creative and deeply Parisian way to spend an afternoon. Wine pairing available for an additional fee, just arrange in advance.
