I'm so glad you're here! Macarons are so special, and you're just a few hours away from learning how to bake them yourself!
This course is pretty straightforward! Each section is complete with lectures that contain videos, notes, and/or PDF downloads attached. Be sure to read/watch everything provided!
Everyone learns differently... I'm more inclined to read and watch everything before I actually start the baking process... you might be more of a head-first type of learner. You have lifetime access to this course material, so you do you!!!
It's helpful to set expectations when making macarons. They are one of the hardest pastries to get right for a reason, so if you don't nail it the first time, don't fret! Each attempt is a learning process and you get closer with every try. There's a troubleshooting guide for you in the Bonus Content section, and I am available to help you along the way!
If you have a question or comment at any point in the course, feel free to message me through Udemy!
FAQ: Do the egg whites need to be aged or at room temperature?
Nope! I have had just as much success with aged egg whites as I have with fresh, and the same for room temp vs. straight out of the fridge. My egg whites are usually straight from the fridge!
Learn to bake macarons in gas, electric, or convection ovens by preheating to 300 and stabilizing, with a middle rack and an oven thermometer, then adjust as needed.
Explore the French meringue method by whisking caster sugar into egg whites, while comparing Italian and Swiss variants, and test for stiff peaks to achieve glossy, airy macarons.
Learn to make meringue with granulated sugar by whipping egg whites with a cornstarch sugar mix and food coloring until stiff peaks form, noting sugar dissolves slower than caster sugar.
Cool shells fully, then pair and fill macarons with frosting and jam, pipe neatly, and let them mature for 24 hours before storing in the fridge or freezing for longer.

Tips and tricks to troubleshoot and achieve consistent results
Complete list of equipment recommendations
I will provide a thorough list of my specific "nice to have" equipment recommendations, but only a few things apart from normal kitchen equipment (bowls, sheet pans, rubber spatula, etc) are essential to begin:
Stand or hand-mixer
Fine mesh sieve
Piping tip (~1cm recommended)
Piping bag (can use a gallon-size plastic bag)
Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
Gel or powdered food coloring (optional)
Additionally, the only ingredient that is not readily available at grocery stores is "powdered egg whites," but this can be omitted and still achieve good results.
