A bit disappointing but still very much enjoyed - Nearly perfect EXCEPT when we arrived with our confirmed paid reservation for 6 they only showed a reservation for 5, therefore we were not able to participate.

More a demonstration than a workshop - The workshop is not really a workshop, it's more like a demostration of how to make the macaron meringue. The girl who runs it is lovely, but the experience in itself - we thought - is not really worth the money. The hands-on experience is mixing the filling and filling up 2 macarons each. My daughter thought it was dissapointing that for 2 people (1 adult and 1 child) we got 8 round cookies, so basically 4 macarons. We wrongly thought that a macaron contains both cookies :). The good thing is that we got the receipe.

Not worth it - I was very disappointed with this experience. I purchased eight tickets however, only four people were able to participate. Scam??? And you don’t actually make the macaron you are told how it’s made and you watch her make the dough for the cookie but then she gives you a shell to use so there’s really no cooking involved except for mixing of some butter and sugar for the inside. With that being said it is horrible that I purchased eight tickets and only four people were able to mix the icing. It was a waste of time and money and I do not recommend this experience. I have seen other more expensive ones and they probably are worth the money.
