I had an absolutely brilliant time and can't wait to eat all the goodies we made. Teacher was lovely, very knowledgeable, and gave great tips on possible substitutions/flavours we could use at home .

This class was fantastic, a 10/10 experience. Valeria was incredible: patient, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. She offered help whenever we needed it while still giving us the freedom to work independently. The desserts turned out amazing, and we had plenty to take home. I can’t wait to return for one of her other classes!

Valeria was such a pleasure and we had the best time. We used this session to celebrate our friends’ engagement and Valeria was very accommodating allowing us to decorate the space early and really helped us make it something special. The class itself was great, we learned tons and the pastries were delicious!! Would highly recommend this class to anyone (and she does other classes too!)
