I recently indulged in the delightful Macaroon Cooking Class at Birkdale, and it was an absolute treat! As a sweet-tooth enthusiast, I was excited to learn the art of crafting these delicate French meringue-based confections. Our instructor, Sandra, was a macaroon maestro, sharing expert tips and techniques to ensure our success. The class was well-structured, and we covered various flavors and fillings, classic lemon and passionfruit were our creations of the day. The hands-on experience was invaluable, and I appreciated the guidance on achieving the perfect "foot" and "shell." We worked in small groups, making it easy to ask questions and receive personalised feedback. What impressed me most was the emphasis on using high-quality ingredients and the attention to detail in presentation. Our macaroons were almost too beautiful to eat! The class atmosphere was warm and supportive, making it easy to meet fellow bakers and share in the joy of creating something delicious. Sandras kitchen facilities were modern, clean, and well-equipped, making the cooking process seamless. To top it off, we enjoyed a delightful tasting session, savoring freshly baked macaroons with delicious coffee. It was the perfect blend of learning, laughter, and sweet indulgence. Highlights: - Expert instruction and guidance - Hands-on macaroon-making experience - Emphasis on high-quality ingredients and presentation - Engaging and supportive atmosphere - Delicious tasting session Recommendation: If you're looking for a fun and informative cooking class, look no further! The Macaroon Cooking Class is a must-attend for bakers and sweet-tooths of all levels. Book your spot, and get ready to unleash your inner patissier!
  • 5/5 from May Fraser, attended Sep 2024: Sandra’s Macaron class was absolutely fabulous! We were treated to a first class lesson with so many tips and awesome instructions. The natural ingredients used in the flavours provide the most delicious Macarons. I met lovely ladies and had so much fun. I highly recommend Sandra’s class and can’t wait to make lots of new flavours. Thanks Sandra :)
  • 5/5 from Anne Lewin, attended Sep 2024: Sandra is amazing. She is very patient and a friendly teacher. Her class was well structured and fun. The macarons are very delicious.
  • 4/5 from Susie Robertson, attended Sep 2024: I recently took a macaron-making class, and it was a great experience! The teacher was really supportive and shared stories about her travels and where she learned her baking skills, which made the class more interesting. The class was held in her home, giving it a cozy vibe. It was interactive, but since we shared equipment, I can see it being a bit cramped if there were more than the three of us. Overall, it was a fun and relaxed class, and I walked away with some new skills and delicious macarons!
  • 5/5 from Leanne Milne, attended Aug 2024: I just would like to thank you Sandra for your wonderful class. It was so much fun and relaxing. Not to mention all the technique and the tips you shared. My favourite part was to taste test the macaroons. I would highly recommend this class to anyone.
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Hetherington, attended Apr 2024: Sandra was a fantastic teacher. I had never contemplated attempting to make macarons but saw this opportunity and decided to give it a go. Sandra provided everything. What made the class particularly good was her teaching skills. Having spent decades as a school teacher, she really knows how to teach, so that it was a lesson, not a demonstration. Adult learners learn by doing. Sandra was fantastic at demonstrating a skill, then handing over to us to practice it. I would absolutely recommend Sandra as a teacher and this class for learning something out of your comfort zone (I was terrified of piping but she taught it so well).
  • 5/5 from Emina Hiko, attended Apr 2024: The class was great and Sandra is an easy going teacher. I liked the relaxed environment and the opportunity to learn a new skill. Thank you.
  • 5/5 from Stacey Morton, attended Apr 2024: Sandra is so talented and such a wonderful teacher. She took the time to make sure we got key techniques correct. The small group setting is absolutely perfect to allow everyone to have a go and no one was left out. I thoroughly enjoyed today’s class, and will be back for more!
  • 5/5 from Diane Byrne, attended Apr 2024: Sandra is an excellent teacher. Today's Mararon Making Class was thoroughly enjoyable and informative. I would highly recommend this experience with the added bonus of taking home the most delicious macaroni.
  • 5/5 from Kerryn Mitchell, attended Mar 2024: Fun day had by our whole group. Fantastic macarons to take home to! Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Donna Rose, attended Feb 2024: Really lovely day! Sandra provided a warm and instructive environment and the outcomes were unexpectedly perfect! Highly recommended for piping bag cowards!
  • 5/5 from Odette Hattingh, attended Feb 2024: Sandra’s class was run efficiently and on time. I learnt so many new skills and walked away feeling like a master of macarons! The venue was clean and spacious enough for everyone to see the demonstration and to be able to do some hands on work. The coffee upon arrival was magnificent. The class was worth every cent I paid! Thank you, Sandra for running such a well put together class.
  • 5/5 from Jennene Burge, attended Feb 2024: Sandra was so thorough and put everyone at ease. The skills learnt were fantastic and the results were amazing. Great class size so all had any individual help needed. Lovely group of ladies in the class made for a wonderful time. Very welcoming home atmosphere, would highly recommend this class
  • 5/5 from Zarin Muna, attended Feb 2024: Both the class and the recipe provided were thorough and enlightening when it comes to macaron making. Sandra's experience in teaching could be felt while she walked us through the steps as well as when she supported us when we would get hands-on with making the macarons. I do think having a small class with a fair amount of time allowed us all to comfortably follow the recipe and engage in conversation with one another, making the experience a lot more fun. Overall, very happy with the class!
  • 5/5 from Celia Talbot, attended Feb 2024: The macaron class was great! Sandra gave clear instructions & comprehensive notes on a handout for us to make the macarons at home. Kitchen layout, utensils & equipment was well prepared on arrival. The class was good value for money & we took a sample of our cooking home with us. Sandra was friendly & it was easy to ask questions at any point during the class.
  • 5/5 from Kaleb Stokan, attended Feb 2024: Sandra was an amazing teacher and host, the macarons turned out wonderful, thank you again!
  • 5/5 from Jasmin Sidhu, attended Feb 2024: It was a great class, had lots of fun and learned so many things about baking macarons including smart cooking tips.

Hi, I’m Sandra. I’m a retired teacher who has been gluten-free for over 24 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 only run two classes a month, including private bookings. 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.
