YEAR 12 PROJECTS… AND 12 FUTURE MACARON MAKERS?! 🥹❤️
Over the last few years, we’ve had a handful of Year 12 students reach out to us for a little mentorship as they take on the challenge of making macarons for their Year 12 projects.
This year? We have TWELVE STUDENTS! 😱❤️
And honestly, one of my favourite parts of Mondays (our admin day) has become catching up on their messages, answering questions, helping troubleshoot and watching their progress.
Because if you’ve ever tried making macarons, you’ll know there’s a whole lot more to them than simply following a recipe!
There’s the science behind the ingredients, the ratios, the mixing, the folding, the resting, the baking… and then there’s learning how to problem solve when something doesn’t quite go to plan.
Watching these students go from having absolutely NO IDEA what they’re getting themselves into to sending through photos of their beautiful macarons is just so rewarding. 🥹
And that’s the thing about learning a craft. It’s not just about getting the perfect result. It’s about experimenting, making mistakes, figuring out why something happened and having another go.
We’ve spent years learning, testing, failing, tweaking and perfecting our own recipes, so if we can share even a little of that knowledge and help someone discover a passion, build confidence or learn something they’ll carry with them beyond school, that’s pretty special.
THIS is what sharing a craft is all about. ❤️
Twelve students, twelve projects and hopefully twelve more people who understand just how much art, science and patience goes into a little macaron. 🌈✨
