Loved the class. Instructor was extremely knowledgeable. My mom and I had a really great time and the cookies were delicious!!!!

It was great fun and I learned a lot. Would prefer my own batch of cookies. Did not like sharing with 4 people. Want to do it all myself
Instructor was awesome
-
A fun and great way to spend the evening! The macarons turned out great too!
-
The class was excellent. Gina and her assistant were really knowledgeable (and not to mention, hilarious). This was our first Cocusocial class and we will definitely be doing this again.
-
The organization of the instructors was excellent. The instruction and tips were great. The venue was fun and unusual for a cooking class.

Such a great night! We loved it. Highly recommend it.

Gina and her assistant Katie were wonderful! The food is delicious and they were really helpful! They made the class super fun and casual! I think everyone felt very comfortable and was able to enjoy themselves!

My sister and I had a great time at this class! We learned a lot of great tips and tricks to making an amazing macaroon. Gina and her assistant were super knowledgeable and made the class really fun. We'll definitely be coming back!

-
Gina Lee was awesome and very knowledgeable. We had a great time and came out with some cool orange macarons for Halloween!
-
The class was amazing and Gina had the perfect temperament to keep us on track with the recipe while making it fun. I would definitely do more classes with her and Katie.
-
This French Macaron class was amazing. The instructors were very patient as well as helpful. We all had fun and enjoyed seeing and tasting the end result
-
-
Gina is hilarious and very helpful. The class was a really fun time. I would highly recommend!

-
Awesome class . Gina and Lauren were great . Easy to follow instructions and delicious macarons.
-
It was fun and we learned a lot. The macarons tasted great and it was nice meeting other couples. Fun Saturday afternoon. So different than usual dinner and movie date.
-
Amazing!!! One of the best classes I've ever taken, would definitely do it again. The macarons came out perfectly and her instructions were so clear. I can't wait to try to make these at home :)
-
Gina and Katie were terrific. What I liked about how they ran the class was that their instruction was filled w/ the little details that make all the difference. They were well organized, fun, helpful, and the class worked out very well. It was my second CocuSocial experience, and I'm working on my next couple
-
-
Gina Lee was great! We learned a lot and took home super impressive macarons!
-
Superb class. Marvelous instructor and assistant with many professional tips.
-
Fun, professional, detail & reality oriented. I’ll definitely take more classes. Thank you!
-
What a great experience! Both ladies were super knowledgeable and answered any questions thrown at them. It was so much fun and interactive.
-
GREAT CLASS! Fun, friendly and VERY knowledgeable instructors. I learned that a macaroon is more than a cookie! Making one is an art. Making one requires a group, alcohol, and someone to tell you, mix, whip, sift and MAKE ANOTHER FLOWER!!!!! Great fun and bonus macaroons and detailed instructions to go home with! The class is extremely organized and smoothly run. AMAZING given the complexity of THE COOKIE!
-
Gina was an amazing informative instructor who taught us each step by step and made sure no group was left behind or confused. Very knowledgable in baking and made the class very entertaining. Would highly recommend to any beginner and would definitely take another class with her!
-
Awesome! Chef Gina is an amazing instructor!! Highly recommend her class!!! She and her assistant were very clear and engaging. They were there for every step with each of us to ensure we were comfortable. I’m a complete novice and was nervous about taking on such a challenging cookie. Chef Gina made me feel like a pro! I can’t wait to make these at home. We had so much fun meeting new people too!
-
Instructor was very helpful and was interactive with teaching the class
-
Gina is a fabulous instructor. Super detailed, fun, and teaches you to make incredibly delicious Macaron's. Don't miss it!
-
-
I had such a great time during this class, and Gina was awesome!
-
-
What a fun night! I learned some things, met nice people and Gina and Katie (I believe her asst was named Katie) were great! I would definitely recommend this event to anyone!
-
Extremely well organized and fun.
-
It was great!
-
A lot of fun!
-
-
Gina and Katie were great! My friend and I had such a great time! I would happily sign up for another class. I would love to see more baking classes listed like a chocolate class
-
-
Loved it- so much fun!
-
This was an amazing time, great instruction and really fun!
-
Gina was organized and a good teacher! Am already talking to friends about taking another cocusocial class - I liked that it was somewhat laid back and social - some cooking classes are too serious for non professional chefs and this definitely did not feel that way at all!
-
-
-
We had a wonderful experience making French Macarons with Gina and Katie. This was our first Cocusocial class and we really enjoyed the experience! We hope to be back soon.
-
Gina and her assistant Katie are simply amazing, both are very knowledgeable and engaging! Thank you for making such fun class, can't wait to take more your classes! Thank you!!!
-
Great fun class. Instructor was very knowledgeable. Would do it again. Macarons were great.
-
Had a lot of fun teachers were great. Location great!!!!!
-
-
Gina was great! What a fun way to spend an evening learning with delish macarons at the end!!!
-
My nieces and my daughter and I loved the class!!! The instructor was engaging and informative . We can’t wait for register for another one of her classes. We had a great time and the macaróns were delicious!!!!!!
-
I’d like a different venue so we have more space to work with. The tables at the Marriott lobby were TINY and it was tough making space. The instructor should be in a central place or have a microphone so we can head over all the cooking gadgets. Would’ve also liked to see examples of macarons that have gone bad to see what we can avoid.
Otherwise, the instructor was knowledgeable and personable.
-
Loved the class! We will be returning.
-
-
Gina is a great instructor! Had a great class!
-
The class was okay. Our macarons seemed like they were left in the oven too long. Make sure you choose a dark color for your macarons because they lose their color while cooking. We also never got our recipes as promised at the end. Maybe they forgot. Lastly, the venue was terrible because there was karaoke going on in the background so you couldn’t really hear the instructors all that well.
-
Great class. Super fun. Didn't get the recipe in the end though.
-
Everything was already prepared for us, from the correct tools to pre-measured ingredients. Simple instructions that even a novice baker can follow. It was a lot of fun. Will definitely do again!
-
The instructors were great, the class format was wonderful. Would highly recommend.
-
-
My sister and I had so much fun! I definitely feel like I can make my own macarons now.
-
Wonderful clase and “EXCELLENT “ instructor!!
-
The outcome of the macarons isn’t the same texture as the one being sold in the store. But overall, it’s fun .
-
As always Gina & Katie make it a fun, memorable class. Super cool instructors!
-
-
Gina Lee was amazing. She is a very down to Earth person and she was extremely helpful during our class. The class was fun and very educational. Gina gave us some protips to try when we make our own cookies at home. The Bryant Park Lounge was an excellent place for this event to be hosted. Also, Gina’s assistant was very helpful. Thanks for a wonderful time.
-
The macarons we made were pretty good! The recipe is fantastic, but we really learned that making macarons are pretty complicated (but the teacher made the process as easy as possible). Would take another class again.
-
This was a great class! It was very informative and hands-on, and the instructor had a great personality and was very accessible. I would highly recommend this class.
-
Really fun experience!!
-
Gina was awesome! Funny, informative and knowledgeable about macarons. I would definitely take this class again or recommend to my friends!
-
Great class and great teacher. I learned how to make cookies, laughed a lot with other participants and had a wonderful evening.
-
I really enjoyed the class. Very informative and you get to take your macarons-which came out sooooo good! Thank you Gina:)
-
This class was very fun and very easy to follow. Making these pastries is not easy but the instructors broke it down simply and were also very personable and fun. It was a good length of time so you didn't feel like you showed up and left right after. 2 hours and 15 minutes, we had a break in the middle to get some drinks and a bite to eat if we wanted. The instructors were clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in the space and overall the class was a great time. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to add a new skill to their baking repertoire.
-
-
It was interesting to learn how to make French Macarons. I asked a lot of questions in the beginning of class, but the response I kept on getting was, "It's in the recipes". However, we did not get the recipes until the very end of class. Also, all my macaron cookies had very large air pockets. It felt like eating Swiss cheese with many large holes.
-
Great experience. Lovely environment. Highly recommended for a date.
-
-
I really like these courses. This one was a fun, casual way to learn basic macaron making and, if you're a social creature and paired with a good group, a way to make some new friends. I do wish, however, we were able to make our own individually from start to finish.
The next day I was able to make my own that turned out great so regardless of how much I was able to participate within the group, it was still successful.
-
-
-
Macarons were a little smaller than I expected..
However we had a great time! Thank you. :)
-
-
-
Definitely one of the most fun and informative classes I’ve ever taken. I would definitely recommend taking any class Gina offers
-
-
I truly enjoyed the class.....I learned a lot. My macarones came out great and tasted really good.
-
-

My group really enjoyed this chocolate class! The instructor was great, energetic, dynamic, and had great pointers for us beginners. I think everyone loved learning how to make their own truffles and were excited to eat them later. It would have been nice if milk chocolate was an option and not just dark chocolate. Some of us aren't fans of dark chocolate, so having the option would have been better. The toppings were all great choices and we liked getting to create our own combinations of flavors and textures. Everyone was also impressed when we walked in the room and saw Tiffany colored cups at our stations, as well as the paper bags at the end. The subtle touches were so nice and thoughtful and much appreciated.

Though I had never attempted to make French macarons before, I left this class feeling like a pro. I brought home 12+ delicious and adorable miniature macarons. The instructor was very knowledgeable and came around often to make sure we were on the right track. She was also a lot of fun and made a lot of jokes with us as we went through the steps. I'm not going to lie, I was intimidated by the recipe since you have to do everything just right to get a perfect end result. But I walked away with nearly perfect macarons! The only reason I'm not giving this class 5 stars is the location (Bryant Park Lounge at Residence Inn Marriott Times Square). Though the location was lovely, clean, and the staff was friendly... it happened to be karaoke night and it made it very difficult to hear the instructor. That being said, I'm sure this was due to poor planning on the hotel management and not the Cocusocial team.
-
Loved this class! It was easy to follow and we accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. My friend and I highly recommend this course. Thanks for the great experience!

Instructors were both great! Would recommend!
-
Overall, I had a great experience especially it was my first time.
-
Gina is amazing!!! Loved this class and had so much fun meeting people.
-
We had a great time... Gina made it easy to follow the process and have fun in the process... our macaroons came out beautiful and delicious
-
Was a very great class, making macarons from the scratch.
-
In general is an interesting class but there are some gaps while they are cooking the cookies where they could've come up with something else to do.
-
-
-
-
Gina is such an amazing instructor, dedicated to her job!! We had so much fun, besides learning. Will check for other classes.
-
Timing was a little off as we just sat around for 20 minutes waiting for the macaroons to bake until we could put the filling in them. Otherwise it was a fun class. We only wish we had made even more macaroons as we ate them all within 24 hours!
-
-
The hotel lounge was cold because of a heating problem, but the instructor was informative and helpful.

It was a fun and educational class! We got to keep the recipes and the macaroons. The chefs gave us tips and tricks and it's a great class for beginners or aspiring pastry chefs!
