Macaron Masterclass by Krissy

Master Perfect Macarons Every Time – Melbourne's Only Foolproof Italian Meringue Method

Stop Making Pancake Macarons and Cracked Disasters!

"Sometimes they just don't work. And I don't know why. Most people give up." - That's what Kristina tells every student on day one. But here's the thing: you won't give up because you'll actually succeed.

At Treats2Eat, we don't teach the French method that leaves you waiting 40 minutes hoping for a skin to form. We teach the Italian meringue method - the professional technique that's virtually foolproof and requires zero drying time.


Why This Class Actually Works (When Others Don't)

"I literally make eight batches in the space of dropping the kids off, going to the gym, getting back here at 10." - Kristina's not showing off; she's proving that once you learn the right method, macarons become achievable, not mythical.

You'll Learn the Real Secrets:

  • Temperature precision: Why 110° vs 120° makes or breaks your batch
  • The macronage technique: How to get that perfect "flowing ribbon" consistency every time
  • Oven mastery: Why rotation at 8 minutes is non-negotiable
  • Filling ratios: Professional ganache recipes that actually set properly

No more hollow shells. No more cracked tops. No more "why didn't they work THIS time?"


Meet Kristina: Your No-Nonsense Macaron Mentor

"I'm a qualified chef as well... I did my whole apprenticeship at the Grand Hyatt. My last six months, they moved me to the pastry kitchen and I fell in love."

Kristina isn't just passionate about macarons - she's obsessed with getting yours right. With 20+ years in professional pastry and a relentless drive to perfect her teaching method, she's the reason students leave saying "I can't believe I actually did that!"

Her promise: "You will have perfect macarons. Don't worry about that. I'll grab these off you... I'm here. Ask me anything you need."

The "Aha!" Moments Students Love Most

"You guys just made macarons better than I do!" - What Kristina told her last class (and meant it).

"I've never piped before..." becomes "Look what I made!" in under an hour.

"Mine are too big/small/wonky" becomes understanding that even Kristina's aren't perfect every time - and that's completely normal.

"Will they actually taste good?" becomes silent amazement as you try your first homemade macaron.
