Husband and I went to a macaron making course back in October. Had an absolute blast, this was the highlight of our trip to Vancouver.
I had a million questions as I have never quite mastered the macaron baking technique at home. Every question was answered thoroughly and thoughtfully. Yann was absolutely fantastic! An open book, he told us all of his secrets and encouraged us to reach out in the future if we had any questions. I believe it was his welcoming and open attitude that made the course enjoyable. Josh was helping out and closed out the day with us. He was incredible and we enjoyed him immensely.
My son was jealous we went without him, we will be back with the whole family in the future. I made the Gin Fizz and my husband made the Matcha. We all shared our cookies with the rest of the class, which was awesome - we had so many delicious flavours to sample. Favourites included cotton candy, bubble gum and the citrus.
In the middle of the workshop we had some bubbly with savoury macarons. I was a little apprehensive to try them, but I was surprised how tasty they were (except for the bacon, that was not my jam).
Yann made us all believe we could do it (and we did!). He really made us feel welcome. We really got into it and cannot recommend enough. All of our friends were jealous and we have multiple requests for cookies. We’re just about to start making Christmas macarons (let’s be honest, it’s going to be a straight up rainbow of cookies in here), and thanks to this workshop, I feel confident in doing that on my own now with my family.
the aprons are SO cute and were not for sale at the time of our course. There were quite a few of us interested in purchasing an apron. If that option is ever available again, we would...
Read moreThank you David & team at Bon Macaron Patisserie for the excellent macaron's for my daughter's first birthday party! They were the perfect addition to the party as thank you favours to the guests. The guests loved them, and commented how delicious they were! I'm equally impressed with the turn around time and the service I received in making the order. Our initial dessert company had to cancel at the last minute, and with such short notice I was frantically contacting places to see what the lead time for a custom order would be. David was one of the only people that replied quickly (and was available) for such a task. He explained the options that were available whether that be what was in-stock or a custom order, and we agreed to meet at the Workshop on Granville Island a few days before the party to solidify plans. I was also looking for packaging options to cut down on time, and Bon Macaron Patisserie had a couple of options. We opted for the plastic sleeve and custom sticker that we provided. The outcome was terrific and adorable, and exactly what I envisioned. Ordering and pickup was a breeze, and as an added bonus because of the amount of macaron's we ordered, we received a complimentary 6 pack that we took home that day. The macaron's kept great for a couple days after the party as well! All said and done, we'll definitely be ordering again from Bon...
Read moreI have to say it was super exciting upon entering the place as it had beautiful macarons on display and you can visibly see the staff working on making them. My boyfriend booked a private macaron class for us and I heard David was an absolute gem throughout the process of emailing and contacting. We can tell he was very busy but was kind enough to squeeze a class in for us in the the morning. He promptly greeted us when we arrived and gave off immediate friendly vibes. He let us choose flavours to make and shortly after we were introduced to Yann who was going to be our teacher/instructor for the day. Yann was an incredibly knowledgeable teacher who was both informative and fun to be around. 9 years in the making if i'm not mistaken. A true professional. I sincerely recommend this place for a cute, fun and informative way to learn about making macarons ! Thank you once again to David and Yann, they're great people and this place...
