5/5 Stars Sweet Success: Macaroon Masterclass!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 sessionRecommendation: 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!

I did a paint pour with another “ teacher elsewhere “ and was so disappointed, I left the class with a terrible piece of art. But this class was THE BOMB, pinky our teacher was patient and knowledge. The classes had smaller numbers so allowed more 1 on 1 time. We were so impressed we will be back we look forward to more lessons.
