What you'll do

If you like Italian food and culture, you don't want to miss this delicious baking class in London! Learn alongside Italian baking teacher and experienced pastry chef, Valeria and create some wonderful bakes to enjoy.

At your baking and desserts class, your tutor will introduce you to some of the most traditional tarts, flans and biscuits from the north and south of Italy. You will be welcomed into Valeria's home kitchen in North West London to take part in your class. Get ready for a fun and friendly session with a small group of like-minded people.

During this London baking class, you will learn to make:

Torta della nonna (Grandma cake) - a delicious shortcrust pastry pie, filled with vanilla creme patisserie and topped with pine nuts, traditionally from Liguria.
Panna cotta with orange caramel sauce.
Cantucci, almond biscotti traditionally from Tuscany, to enjoy with coffee or dipped in sweet white wine.

At your Italian baking class, you will learn how to:

Make the perfect shortcrust pastry for biscuits and tarts.
Prepare and flavour creme pâtissière, to use a filling on a variety of occasions.
Prepare caramel and turn it into a sauce for flans and other preparations.
Use gelatine to set mousse and flan.
Build your confidence in baking on your own.
Improve your own recipes and be creative in the kitchen.

Whether you need a sweet day out in London or just fancy learning some new skills, this baking class is an ideal activity to enjoy solo or with loved ones. You'll walk away with plenty of delicious baked goods to share with your nearest and dearest and with a few new dessert recipes to make at home and enjoy whenever you need a sugary pick-me-up.

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.
