She is a great chef who is patient in teaching various baking techniques. However, some recipes done in class were not listed on the recipe page, but rather explained verbally afterwards, when asked upon request. The chef said it was completely alright to take pictures, but when I did during her demonstrations on more difficult or skilled techniques, she would block or cover her hands, suddenly move away, or stopped demonstrating the technique altogether, and refused to show the technique again. What the chef says does not match her actions in class. Outside of that odd experience, the chef seems to have a pleasant personality and teaches well if you do not take any pictures. So I give the class an overall 4 stars.

Location was convenient. It was very close to the subway. I absolutely love the macaron class I took here. We worked in groups of 3 or 4. The ingredients were prepared for us to work with. No measurement was done by us. We had a pretty roomy kitchen area to work in. We made 3 batches of macaron: Strawberry Macaron with Champagne Buttercream, Mint Chocolate with Dark Chocolate Ganache and Bacon Macaron with Maple Buttercream. It was great learning the process of how it's made from the meringue to the piping and the little tips to help along the way. The instructor I had was Katie. She was very attentive and she also had assistants helping with the cleaning.

I had so much fun with Chef Katie. We learned to make macaroons and played with colors and flavors. We also made and decorated cupcakes too. It would be so fun with kids or for a birthday.
