This was one of the best experiences we had our entire trip. What a fun activity. She did an amazing job explaining everything and really engaging the entire group, most of us didn't know each other. The dessert was AMAZING! So much fun and really relaxed environment. Extremely clean and professional

This was a well-run, informative and fun class. Loved that it was in a regular neighborhood apartment and definitely learned some useful baking tips along with the secret to fabulous pastel de nata. Highly recommend signing up!
