Informative and friendly teacher, delicious French pastries! I attended with my partner, she was an experienced baker and I wasn’t. We both felt like we learned a lot, and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would (given my experience level). The teacher was incredibly well informed, skilled and most importantly friendly and charismatic. We had a great time! Baked some profiteroles and a tart each. Definitely going to try at home! Can recommend this class for both beginners and more advanced bakers alike.

She followed up with all the recipes and additional advice straight away as well. Really enjoyed the class and can't wait to remake these items again!! I would definitely do another class with Valeria!! Thanks for a great afternoon!

I had such a wonderful experience attempting French patisserie and it’s crossed a wish on my bucket list. Valeria was so organised, enthusiastic and encouraging that it made the whole afternoon flow . It was also great to meet others from all walks of life and fun to interact with each other. My grandchildren loved eating what I brought home ( it was a Christmas present from them) . Truly recommended and I’d like to thank Valeria for her kindness and hospitality. One satisfied customer!
