Macaron Tower with Pistachio Buttercream
Some fantastic news for you all – I’ve teamed up with Essential Ingredients for a Hands-On Macaron Making class on the 21st of August (Saturday) from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. In this three hour hands on class we’ll cover ALL THE THINGS I WISH I KNEW before making these delectable french treats myself. For only $125 per head, you get to join this hands-on class, take home the recipes as well as the macarons you make during the class (if there are any left!).
The idea behind this class is to be able to arm you with enough confidence to make your own macarons at home. The session will cover:
- French Method to making macarons
- Italian Method to making macarons
- Ganaches and Buttercream fillings
- How to Pipe macarons
- Essential Ingredients to a perfect macaron
And most importantly, macaron secrets that you’ll never read about in cookbooks. After obsessing over these treats for almost four years, kilos of wasted almond meal and egg whites, I wish there was a class like this when I first started making them! Believe me, these treats are so finicky that it makes a big difference to be shown how to make them compared to learning from a cook book. But the good news is, once you know the tricks (for example, how to ensure the batter is ready to be piped), they are a cinch to make.

And while we’ll go over two basic recipes in the class, at the end of the session you’ll be able to come up with your own macaron flavours easily! Lemon lime? Chocolate and chili? Mango and caramel? The flavour combinations are endless!
Essential Ingredients is located in 731 Darling Street, Rozelle. For bookings, please call 9555 8300.

Hi Trissa, I’d love to join but I’m a really beginner, is that alright?
I would love to join next class too!
When is your next macarons making class at Essential Ingredients? I would love to sign up for that.

Hi Trissa,
I would like to learn from the mistress on how to perfect macarons. Will you be in Melbourne teaching any time soon.
Looking forward to you reply.

The class was fantastic and I learned so much. Thanks Trissa.
Hi!
I was at Essential Ing. the other day, and pulled out a flyer of their classes. I had an inkling that it was you that I read in the flyer, so I went to your blog and I was correct! Wish you all the best in your class!!! Looks like a lot of fun!
Congratulations Trissa! That is very exciting news 🙂
now those are some macarons! i think all macarons should be tri-colored like yours. wow. i can’t imagine you needing a class; you’re pretty darn good at them.
These macarons are lovely!! I’d go to your cooking class if it weren’t sixteen hours away 🙂 macarons are in my to-bake-list, ever-growing. Lovely post, my dear.
