Doughnuts and Churros Baking Class

Learn to make delicious street food sweet treats in this London workshop!



3 hours Class size 1 to 6     label £95

If you have a thing for sweet-fried-treats, here's a workshop you don't wanna miss!

In this hands-on class, your teacher Valeria will show you how to turn a few basic ingredients into the most delicious doughnuts, going through all the stages of the preparation: from kneading to proofing, from shaping to frying. In her cosy kitchen, she will teach you all the secrets to having a light and fluffy dough, shaping doughnuts and making them all equal in size and thickness, as well as the ideal frying time.

Whilst the dough is proofing you will be making a vanilla custard filling that will persuade also the most demanding palates. So, whether you like doughnuts plain or filled, there will be choice for everyone!

And to wrap up the session, you will prepare some classic churros, made of piped choux pastry and deep fried. You will take this Spanish and Portuguese street food tradition to the next level, by rolling churros in cinnamon sugar and dipping them into a luscious chocolate sauce.  

No worries if you're a beginner, you'll have tailored support throughout the class as you pick up all the skills to make these delicious sweet treats.


During this hands-on session, you will learn how to:

  • Make donuts two ways, plain with sugar and filled with cream
  • Get creative in choosing different fillings for your donuts
  • Make choux pastry and pipe to perfection to make the best churros
  • Make chocolate ganache to coat your churros
  • Get new ideas to make filled churros
  • Choose the best oil for deep frying
  • Deep fry in safety taking some basic precautions


Please note: Unless booked as a private session, this class requires a minimum age of 14-years-old for attendance. Exceptions to this age requirement must be agreed in advance. However, everyone in the kitchen needs to have their own individual paid spot regardless of age.

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.
