Sweethearts & French Macarons
About this Event

Fall in love with French macarons!
Join Chef Dobbie for a fun, interactive Valentine’s workshop where you’ll learn to craft elegant French macarons with crisp, delicate shells and luscious seasonal fillings. From whipping a perfect meringue to mastering macaronage and piping picture-perfect rounds, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to recreate these romantic treats at home.

What You’ll Make:
You’ll prepare a batch of classic almond French macarons and fill them with fresh, fruit-forward seasonal flavors like raspberry buttercream and blueberry jam. Chef Dobbie will guide you step-by-step through each technique, making the process approachable for beginners while still engaging for passionate home bakers.

Whether you’re looking for a memorable date night, a Galentine’s outing, or simply a delightful way to indulge your sweet tooth, this class blends hands-on learning with a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere—plus plenty of tasting along the way. All tools and ingredients are provided!

No experience necessary!
Our classes are designed to be casual, approachable, and fun for everyone—whether you’ve made macarons before or this is your very first time. With your workstation fully prepped, all you need to do is show up ready to bake, learn, and enjoy.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in.
You will be seated with your booking party and may work with other students in groups of 2–5 by sharing ingredients and equipment. Drinks will be available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. Outside beverages are not permitted
