Take a Baking Class at Bakenary Pastries and Learn to Make Macarons with Your Kids
Edmonton parents, if you’re looking for a fun (and delicious) Christmas experience gift that gets your kids - and you - in the kitchen in Edmonton, we’ve got a class for you. The macaron-making class we recently tried at Bakenary Pastries is one of the most interesting experiences we’ve had in the kitchen in Edmonton, where we learned to make the incredible macarons served up in store.
Bakenary Pastries has such a warm, inspiring story behind it. The shop was founded in 2022 by Darya Naidenkova and Tarek Aboubou, who moved from Dubai to Canada, bringing with them a huge passion for baking; especially the art of the macaron. When they first arrived, they started small at the Bountiful Farmers’ Market, offering beautifully crafted macarons that quickly gained them a loyal following. Over two years, their booth became a must-stop spot for anyone with a sweet tooth. Now, you’ll find the shop at 5732 75 Street NW.
