Join Mary Storey for this unique Holiday Macaron class. You can choose between creating a beautiful Stacked Christmas Tree Centerpiece (perfect for your holiday dinner table) or the adorable Festive Wreaths- which would make adorable place settings too!
For the Stacked Tree you will learn to make, color and pipe sets of concentric stars which will later be filled, stacked and decorated with royal icing and whatever you’d like to raid from Angela’s sprinkle collection.
For the wreaths you’ll learn to pipe perfect circles to form your wreaths and you’ll take home a selection of adorable Italian Macarons in a selection of flavors to share with your family and friends. You’ll make a delicious Chocolate Ganache Filling in your choice of flavors plus, Mary will have a batch of Italian Meringue Buttercream ready for you to flavor so you can go home with a variety of flavors… you can even go seasonal with Eggnog, Gingerbread or Apple Pie flavors (or choose one of our Boozy Liquor flavors…dozens of other non alcoholic flavor options available too!) Plus, Mary will show you how to decorate your wreaths to perfection with royal icing, elegant sprinkles and luster dust.
*Italian Macarons are similar to their better known cousin the French Macaron, but are more robust and versatile-allowing you to make multiple colors from the same batch and easier for piping shapes. The methods are very similar, so if you’ve made French Macarons before, you’ll be creating multi color adorable macarons in no time!
This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:
YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child
YES: Couples
YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)
*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two people sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!
We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging.
We always have a selection of teas, coffee, water and something tasty to nibble on when you visit. However, you are welcome to bring your own drinks (if you are BYOBing, please drink responsibly) or snacks if you desire. Lunch is provided for full day classes, please let us know of any allergies in the notes section when you are booking your classes.
Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
