Bake along with Anneka Manning
"Completely inspired by the class with Anneka and it has really put me on Cloud 9 for the week! This sort of content – totally accessible and realistic, achievable and personal – is exactly what I was looking for to improve my baking skills.

Learn to bake gorgeous macarons – right in your very own kitchen!
Macarons is a fun and informative online baking course where you will learn to make your own French-style macarons – the darlings of the confectionery world – all from your very own kitchen!
Anneka Manning will take you through the process step by step, sharing all of her practical tips and tricks along the way.
The course includes a 3-hour masterclass pre-recorded video (which was recorded as a Live Session earlier this year), which enables you to take part in this course entirely at your own pace. Not only does the video include full step-by-step instructions for making classic Vanilla Macarons, but you will have the ability to bake along in your own time and have access to all the questions that were answered during the session.
This virtual masterclass is supported by printable recipes and resources which will become your go-to kit every time you wish to bake these divine treats. Not only will you learn the secrets to the perfect Macaron batter and piping techniques, but you will also gain insight into a number of different buttercreams and fillings that can be used, as well as an endless array of flavours, colours and decorations limited only by your imagination.
From how to achieve great 'feet', why temperature is key in the macaron-making process, and how to 'mature' your macarons to develop not only the best flavour but also the best texture, this class will have you whipping up a batch of stunning macarons whenever the mood takes you!
"If you want to learn how to make macarons, then take Anneka's class. Anneka takes the fear away from attempting macarons and shows you step by step how to achieve great results." – Angela Parisi, Melbourne
