I looked forward to this for so long and I am so pleased I chose to come. You learn so much in a fun, friendly atmosphere. Annabelle as always was very patient and explained everything in a way that was easy to learn. I can't wait to go home and make more!

I was so excited for this course. I learnt loads, lovely friendly atmosphere. Tutor was amazing as always, doesn't mind if you interrupt to ask questions. This is an amazing course. You learn loads and get to make 2 different flavours. Annabelle is very encouraging if they don't turn out as you hoped. I would have liked more options of things to sprinkle on the finished macarons.

Thank you for a great day, brilliant tutor, course content even more than expected, such a fun course, filled with yummy fillings, lots learnt. It was an amazing course, lots of great Annabelle top tips. My hubby thought they tasted better than the ones we had in France a few years ago
