  • 5/5 from Carman Yeung, attended Oct 2024: Valerie is very professional and shares a lot of good techniques. The class was fun with good chats throughout. We love the scones, Madeline and ginger cake which we will sure try it again at home!
  • 5/5 from Sandra Bushnell, attended Jul 2023: We thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with Valeria! We were so impressed with her knowledge & expertise of the science & art of baking. Her recipes and techniques are easy to follow and delicious! She gave us the recipes (Scones, Bundt cakes and cookies) so we will definitely bake them again on our own. Her kitchen is so comfortable and charming - she’s absolutely delightful and I highly recommend her class—you’re in for a real treat!
  • 5/5 from Jacqueline Fischer, attended Jul 2023: This class was so much fun! Valeria was simply lovely, she welcomed us into her lovely home and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. She also provided us with refreshments. There were 5 of in the class and we baked scones, madeleines and a Bundt cake each. Valeria provided all of the ingredients and we all took home boxes of freshly baked treats…way too many to eat! I highly recommend this class, a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Thank you Valeria!
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Marrero, attended Jun 2022: I had such a wonderful experience making with Valeria! She was so kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable! I took the afternoon tea baking as a one on one class when I was looking to do something memorable during my visit to London. I can't say enough good things about my experience! All of the ingredients we needed were ready to go and very well organized especially since we made 3 different recipes! The timing of the class was also perfect. I absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to learn new or improve current baking skills. I can see this being super fun for small friend groups as well 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.
