Macaron Workshop

Have you always wanted to learn to make Macarons, but something has held you back?
If the answer is yes, then this workshop is for you!
It is geared towards beginner bakers, so no experience is necessary. The only thing you need to be successful is a willingness to try.
At The Salted Pepper Academy, our motto is, "We Learn Better Together." So, let's join together and learn to make some beautiful macarons!
Before you register, please look over the details of the workshop and the recommended supplies and only register if you plan on participating and making the macarons during the workshop.
Plan on about 2 hours each week to learn about making Macarons and about 4 hours on baking day.
Don't Delay!
Registration for the Workshop Closes on Friday, March 8th or when all the spots fill up!

- Oven to bake in. This can be a countertop oven or a regular oven.
- Basic Ingredients for Macarons are:
- Almond Flour

A Note from Louise
I am so excited about this workshop and can't wait to learn the basics of making macarons with friends. It's going to be a great experience!
Making macarons isn't for everyone and if this workshop isn't the right fit for you, no worries at all!
There are more to come! My goal is to do one a month that range from a few days to several weeks in length. Here are some of the topics I plan to cover.
- Sourdough Starter
- Basic Bread Making for Beginners
- Making Homemade Pasta
And, that is just the beginning!
These workshops are limited in size to keep them personal and effective, so the best way to stay up to date and be the first to get notified when registration opens is to join our FREE private community, The Salted Pepper & Friends!
I'm looking forward to seeing you inside our community and in this workshop or future ones!
All My Best,
Louise
