Join Me for a Fun Day of Macaron Baking

As a mom who’s never baked before and doesn’t even own any baking equipment, I was a bit apprehensive about stepping into a professional kitchen for the first time. But when I saw the “Crafting Macarons with Essential Oils” workshop at SHATEC Orchard, I thought, why not? I wanted to try something new, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to dive into the world of baking. Little did I know, this would turn out to be one of the most fun baking experiences I’ve had in a long time!

 

From the moment I stepped into their demonstration studio, I felt a warm, welcoming vibe. The workshop is wonderfully inclusive, catering to all ages — I noticed several moms with their kids, making it a fantastic family bonding experience. SHATEC really has thought of everything; they provided all the necessary ingredients and tools, so I didn’t have to worry about bringing anything from home.

 

What truly made the experience exceptional was Chef Cindy. From the moment we begin, she was there to guide us through each step of the macaron-making process. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow, which was especially important for someone like me with no prior baking experience. Her patience and encouragement were greatly appreciated, as she ensured that everyone, including the children, felt confident and involved.

 

One of the highlights of the class was the integration of essential oils by Living Essentially into the macaron recipe. It was fascinating to see how these flavours could be incorporated into such a delicate treat. The hands-on approach allowed us to experiment with different flavours and learn about the nuances of using essential oils in baking.

 

I left the workshop not only with boxes of macarons that I was incredibly proud of but also with a new sense of accomplishment and a deeper appreciation for the art of baking. The experience was so fulfilling that I’m already planning my next visit, this time with my toddler, as I believe it would be a wonderful way for us to bond and explore the joys of baking together.

 

If you’re a parent looking for a stress-free way to introduce your kids to the joys of baking, or if you’re simply looking for a fun, relaxing activity for yourself, I highly recommend SHATEC Orchard’s macaron workshop. It’s the perfect blend of learning, laughter, and fun — exactly what every baking class should be! So, if you’re ready to embark on a baking adventure that’s both fun and rewarding, grab your apron and join the macaron workshop at SHATEC Orchard. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
