Cheryl was able to provide instructions and information into bite sized pieces that were easily digestible, but most importantly retainable! Like a macaron haha
She’s a lot of fun. Both her personality and stories of her travels made the class very enjoyable.

I had a great time during this macron making class! Chef Cheryl was very knowledgeable and patient. Making macarons can be intimidating but she broke the process down into simple steps and shared many helpful tips. She created a fun, engaging and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend this experience to bakers of all skill levels.

I had such a wonderful time at Chef Cheryl’s macaron-making class in Carmel! I’ll be honest - I always thought macarons were intimidating and way too difficult to make at home, but Chef Cheryl made the entire process feel so approachable and fun. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the class.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make macarons, I highly recommend taking this class. It was such a fun experience and definitely one of the highlights of my time in Carmel!
