Learn How to Create a Macaron Masterpiece

You’ve never been to a workshop as pretty as this one!

Macarons are hugely popular the world over. Almost every food market in Cape Town, and believe us there are a lot, has a stall that sells macarons (much to our delight). If these delicate confectionaries really float your boat, then why not take that love to the next level with the Painted Macaron Workshop. On Wednesday, 16 August 2017 The Birdcage Tea Bar is hosting the workshop at The Styling Shed in Stellenbosch.

Macaron making can be tricky as it needs to strike just the right balance between art and science.. Macarons are meringue-based sweet treats that can be flavoured and coloured to your heart’s content. They originated in Venice, but have since undergone various transformations as ; different countries and cultures add their own flare to the macaron, whether it be to the colour, flavour, shape or size. Today there are hundreds of variations, and they are all worth trying!  The Painted Macaron Workshop will be your canvas for experimenting with these little treats in whatever way you please. Be sure not to miss it this August.

The talented ladies from The Birdcage Tea Bar will teach their guests how to turn a simple macaron into a work of art. Don’t worry if you don’t fancy yourself much of an artist, we (and The Birdcage!) guarantee that  this course will still be a worthy experience for you. The best thing about painted macarons, aside from them being stunning, is that you can eat the ones that don’t look so good. Bonus!

But don’t worry, you won’t just be expected  to make the Mona Lisa of macaron paintings; instead, Beate Strydom from The Birdcage Tea Bar and her team will teach you various tips and tricks to get the most out of your tiny canvas. They will guide you through how to paint fabulous flowers and lovely leaves in stunning colours to make your macarons look as professional as a patisserie’s . At the end of the day, you’ll walk away with six botanical painted macarons and six floral painted macarons.
