Join pastry chef and owner, Meredith Mortensen, for an evening of sugary goodness. Not to be confused with the coconut filled, American macaroon, French macarons are naturally gluten free, light and airy, but can be oh so tricky! We'll teach you all the tricks to a successful macaron, and create several different flavor combos.

What to Expect:

• Registration fee includes all materials, ingredients, instruction and equipment.

• Students will each take home a box of macarons at the end of class.

• Items made are gluten free, but we will be using sugar, butter, eggs and almonds.
