The macaron masterclass was so good! Alex was a great teacher and it was really helpful to see Alex demonstrate first and be able to hear his tips. We made the most amazing macarons and I’m inspired to try some more at home. Penny was a lovely host too and she definitely helped us all to feel comfortable and welcome.
