About Belle Kitchen Baking & Cooking Classes
Belle Kitchen started in 2014 with two award winning bakeries that now focus on baking classes and specialty production in Carmel by the Sea, CA.
To date we have produced over 500,000 macarons. That is a lot of macarons!
Each of our macarons are meticulously made by hand and filled with only the finest, incredible fillings and toppings. Because we create our macarons in-house we are able to produce amazing flavors, shapes and colors.
We take the same care, time and energy with our classes. Each class is meticulously planned to ensure a fun, hands-on experience where you take home a full dozen macarons. Classes are taught pretty much every weekend and on other days by request.
Please take a look at our macaron gallery to view some of the many orders, events, showers and weddings we have created beautiful macarons for recently.
Our Macaron Baking and Cooking Classes
We offer our 5 Star rated macaron classes in beautiful Carmel by the Sea. Our classes are small, hands-on with all equipment, instructions and recipe provided. Kids are welcome.
Macarons are incredibly popular, pricey and one of the most difficult pastries to master. In this completely hands-on class, you will create, bake and take home a dozen macarons.
When I started, it took months of trial and error with the recipe, preparation, baking and temperatures.
You begin with learning what a great macaron is and then exactly how to create them from scratch. All the tips and tricks and common pitfalls are discussed. The idea and aim is that you should be able to create beautiful macarons at home!
We create macarons from the 3 basic ingredients (eggs, almond flour, sugar) and discuss how your macaronage (macaron batter) should look when it is ready to be piped.
We move on to how to perfectly pipe your macarons and how they should feel when properly cured and ready for the oven. Do not worry if you have never used a piping bag – I will teach you how!
We then fill our macarons discussing flavors, others types of fill.
In all, about 1.5 to 2 hours of solid, professional instruction. All tools, ingredients and recipes will be supplied.
You will leave with a full dozen macarons!
Parking is shaded if you have your pet with you.
