French Macarons Testimonials
My friend and I had a wonderful experience learning how to make macarons with Kym! Kym was clear and thorough with the steps, helped us out when things went wrong so we knew how to troubleshoot in the future and left us feeling confident to try these out ourselves at home! Macarons were delicious and we can’t wait to get practising!

Adventure Tips
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients
The success of your macarons depends heavily on ingredient freshness—use fresh eggs and almond flour for the best results.
Practice piping technique
Consistent, gentle piping is key to forming evenly-sized macaron shells—practice on parchment before piping your final batch.
Be patient during baking
Let your macarons rest before baking to develop a skin; this step is crucial for the signature foot and smooth top.
Store macarons properly
Keep finished macarons in an airtight container in the fridge to preserve texture and flavor for up to a week.
