Recent reviews of French Macarons Baking Class

  • 5/5 from Kinga Kosiorek, attended Mar 2026: It was a lovely class, and I learned some amazing skills. I’ll try making the macarons on my own now and will share the photos with you. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Anita Shah, attended Jan 2026: Lovely experience: Valeria was very welcoming and organised. She explained everything clearly and made the experience most enjoyable. The whole family enjoyed eating the delicious macarons. Thank you very much
  • 5/5 from Ernesta Girdvainyte, attended Jan 2026: Today’s macarons training was a wonderful experience. The time was spent very pleasantly, with lots of useful knowledge gained. Most importantly, the macarons baking techniques were clearly and thoroughly explained. The teacher Valeria, as always, was very kind, supportive, and helpful throughout the entire session.
  • 5/5 from Georgia Carter, attended Jan 2026: Valeria was a wonderful teacher, I would gladly attend another of her classes given the chance. The macaron class was a Christmas present for my mother, but I enjoyed it just as much. My cooking and baking style is definitely more chaotic than is required for macarons, but Valeria explained the reasoning behind the required precision for each step which made it a lot easier to follow. The class is very hands-on but with plenty of direction. I’m very much looking forward to trying this out at home.
  • 5/5 from Agnes Czolnowska, attended Mar 2025: My daughter had a fantastic time at the French macaron baking class! Valeria was a kind and patient teacher, making sure everyone felt comfortable. The small group meant lots of one-on-one guidance, but they also got to work independently. The step-by-step instructions were super clear, making the process easy to follow. By the end, they had beautiful macarons to take home and the confidence to make them again. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Emma Hayes, attended Sep 2024: Brilliant class!! I learnt so many helpful tips and techniques, and left feeling much more confident about making macarons. I also really enjoyed the decorating techniques and all the different fillings. Such a friendly and approachable teacher.
  • 5/5 from Sharyl Jauod, attended Jun 2024: I had a great time. I like that it is small group which makes it comfortable to ask questions. The class was organised and everything is measure and ready. Gives more time for us to do the 3 fillings and decorate the macaroons. Valeria is lovely and knowledgeable. Like the fact I could ask her questions after the class. Thank you. Now I just need to practice my piping skills!
  • 5/5 from Alison Moretti, attended Jun 2024: Valeria was an excellent teacher. Moved just at the right speed and offered lots of tips. Thoroughly recommend this course.
  • 4/5 from Sunitha Siddappa, attended Jun 2024: The teacher was really friendly and helpful, and there was a warm atmosphere while making the macaroons. I learnt a plethora of new skills in this session, The fillings were delicious but the macaroons itself were slightly hard and chewy.
  • 5/5 from Hannah Colgan, attended Feb 2024: Valeria was really informative and talked us through each step of the process. It was so lovely to do the whole thing from beginning to end and get to take home a box of macarons. We made three different fillings, 2 colours (and mixed!) and learnt how to pipe the batter correctly. Valeria also emailed us all the recipes and instructions afterwards so I felt that I could just be present and concentrate on the process and not trying to scribble down notes. I am excited to try to make them myself soon!
  • 5/5 from Eleanor Kyle, attended Sep 2023: We had an amazing afternoon learning how to make macarons. Valeria was very informative, patient and we really got a lot out of the lesson and made some very pretty macarons. Her kitchen is lovely and she taught us some very useful new skills and gave us lots of tips! Definitely keen to book another lesson with her. Thank you Valeria!

Hi there, my name is Valeria Suppa, I'm an Italian baking teacher and food stylist based in London. I started as a self-taught baker, before receiving my professional training and working as a baker and cake decorator in a bespoke cakes parlour. My expertise ranges from cakes to patisserie and desserts of all sorts, with a special focus on Italian baking.
I have years of experience teaching classes for all levels, both in-person and online. I always try to make every baking experience entertaining and informative at the same time.
During the last 13 years, I've lived in different countries around Europe and South America, learning a lot about different techniques, new ingredients and unusual flavour combinations. I speak fluent English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
