In the last cycle of one-day pastry courses SLASTIČARNICA 2025./2026. we held a workshop on one of the great icons of French pastry, the macaron. Watch the atmosphere from the course and see why these elegant cakes are a favourite challenge for everyone who loves desserts.
Good news for everyone who could not take part last time. The Macarons – a small sweet challenge course will again be part of the new cycle SLASTIČARNICA 2026./2027., so this season you get another chance to master one of the most demanding and most beautiful pastry techniques.
Macarons are not ordinary cakes. Behind their refined look stand precision, technique and patience. Perfectly smooth shells of almonds, egg whites and sugar come out only when every step is done correctly, from the meringue and the proper macaronage to drying, baking and the creamy fillings. That is why making macarons is a real test of pastry skill.
20. MACARONS – A SMALL SWEET CHALLENGE
24 March 2027 (Wednesday) | 17:00 – 21:00
In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to avoid the most common mistakes and get macaron shells with the typical “foot”, a smooth surface and the right texture. With expert guidance you will learn to make the batter, bake it properly and prepare different fillings, so you can make these demanding cakes at home with ease.
