Welcome to my Macaron Masterclass!
My name is Romina Yanarello, and I’m a pastry chef with over 10 years of experience in the pastry world.
In this class, I want to share everything I’ve learned about one of the most beautiful (and sometimes tricky) sweet treats: Macarons.
These elegant little cookies are known around the world, but they come with a few secrets.
Once you understand how they work, you’ll stop struggling and start baking perfect macarons from your own kitchen.
Let’s get started!
In this section, we’ll focus on the foundation of every macaron: the shells.
I’ll guide you step by step through the Italian meringue method, from whipping to macaronage to piping.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand exactly how to create smooth, shiny shells with perfect feet, every time.
Let’s start with a classic: buttercream.
It’s light, creamy, and the perfect filling to customize with different flavors.
In this lesson, I’ll show you how to make a stable, silky buttercream that complements your macarons beautifully.
Ganache is one of the most indulgent macaron fillings: rich, smooth, and incredibly versatile.
Here, I’ll show you how to make a perfect ganache base, how to adjust the texture, and how to flavor it creatively for endless combinations.
