Macaron class FAQs
Is this experience accessible?
No, this experience is not accessible for wheelchairs. The bakery is in a historic building that has multiple steps. The class also requires you to be able to stand for an extended period of time while baking.
Are children allowed?
Children under the age of 5 are free of charge, but please note that they will not be able to participate in the hands-on baking experience due to safety concerns.
Are you able to accommodate different dietary restrictions?
Unfortunately, we follow a set recipe with various flavor options and can’t make substitutions. The macarons you’ll be working with have flour in them, so they’re not gluten-free. There is also dairy and almond powder among the ingredients.
