Divine Macarons

Definitely an Uptown Sweets branded workshop, due to Joys' passion (& obsession). Your preferred new dates may be arranged for group of 6 pals, earliest time slot is 10am.

Description: Call it simply ~ Macaron is an elegantly divine French almond cookie. An ever luxurious and popular petit four, Macarons calls for simple ingredients in egg white, almond powder and sugar. It is such wonders to see them puffed up with tiny feets (or call them ruffles or skirting) round the shell. And yet, baking these cookies at home remains a daunting task to some home-bakers.

Macaron Workshop Crisp shells with chewy centre - enjoy them plain, or dab a little jam or peanut butter, or enclose a thick layer of flavoured buttercream or tasty chocolate ganache. Oh! I love mine with cream cheese too!
