  • It was such an exquisite baking class we had at L’atelier Vaniyé. The class arrangement was great, with ample time and a real hands-on experience for us to learn and practise making of the whole cake. Sonia is an excellent teacher, she explained the steps in details and would give us special notes on how to make things better.

  • I took a masterclass with Chef Sonia and had a wonderful time. Sonia is so friendly and knowledgeable, she's able to teach people with various levels of knowledge.
    I'd recommend these classes to anyone interested in starting their baking journey / expanding their baking knowledge / building confidence or just spending an invigorating morning with the best people and best food.

  • A fantastic class!
    Beautiful kitchen and space, amazingly helpful, friendly, and engaging tutor (Sonia) and a DELISH dessert to take home at the end of it all.
    A mix of making elements yourself and being shown others or working in groups.
    I would 100% come back again, and encourage my friends too.
