My mother bought this as a gift for her grandson, and they had a terrible experience. She is 85 years old and was expecting the class to last 2 hours, based on the website. However, it ended up being 3 hours, which was very long for her to stand without anywhere to sit. While she was aware there was no seating, she expected the 2-hour duration, which she could have managed.
The second issue was that the class was divided into teams of four, which wasn't explained when we booked. As a result, they only got to participate in half of the steps. The teacher spent too much time talking and explained the next step while the teams were still working on the previous one, so they couldn't follow along. Additionally, there were no printed instructions for them to refer to.
Next, when they set out the pre-measured ingredients on their table, whoever placed them spilled egg whites onto the parchment paper. Since no one informed the team about this, the mix became too thick. When the teacher tried to fix it, she was unable to, resulting in the macaroons being too hard and not rising at all. The team was also given the macaroons too late, and since they were still hot, the buttercream melted. Moreover, the ganache was ruined from the heat and became a liquid.
I forgot to include there were small flies hovering over their table and the other teams' tables during the entire class.
