I took Pierre Herme’s online class on PastryClass to learn about macarons, but there was so much more!

The final result was absolutely delicious and the flavors were exceptional. It gave me an even greater appreciation for the quality and expertise behind this classes.

I also wanted to add that what stayed with me the most was hearing Pierre Hermé share parts of his journey, his vision and his passion for pastry throughout the class.

It felt like much more than simply following a recipe or learning techniques. It was inspiring, motivating and, in some moments, genuinely moving to listen to his experience and the way he speaks about his work and creativity.

It made the whole experience even more memorable for me.

I was one of the first students of PastryClass, and can’t say enough good things about it!
The opportunity to learn from the best is priceless! Thank you Ksenia Penkina for creating such an amazing online school!
The Trustpilot is not letting me to put actual date of taking classes since it was four years ago :)

I have followed Cedric Grolet’s work for a long time, so being able to learn from his techniques felt very special. The lessons are easy to follow, well organized, and full of valuable details. As someone passionate about pastry, I found the course both educational and motivating. It helped me improve my skills, develop new ideas, and gain more confidence in my baking journey.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn modern pastry techniques and be inspired by one of the world’s most renowned pastry chefs.

I have taken several courses on PastryClass by taking advantage of promotions, and the experience has been genuinely valuable to me. My absolute favorites so far are the classes by Ramon Morato and Ksenia Penkina.

What I loved is that they don't just teach you to follow a recipe blindly. The focus is on understanding the science and theory behind how a recipe works. Each pastry chef shares their unique mindset and knowledge, which serves as an inspiration to push my own limits and better understand pastry. In everything I prepare now, there is always some element, technique, or principle I took from these courses.

Additionally, I like that most courses are designed so you don't need high-end professional kitchen tools or specialized appliances to get results. There are a few exceptions, like the course by Jordi Roca, but given his style, you can't expect anything conventional 🙂. Even when a course requires advanced equipment, it is incredibly fun and insightful just to see the breakdown of what goes on behind his creations. There is always some inspiring part within the proposed recipes to take away.

I highly recommend PastryClass to anyone who wants to understand pastry beyond the recipe, not just make it, but truly get it.

First of its kind pastry classes, to be able to connect us with the best of the best in the industry was truly remarkable. Loved my experience!!!

When you spend this much on a pastry book you really are taking a gamble that it is worth it but this book is 1000% worth it! Communication with the team was also superb when I had an issue trying to order and the book arrived absolutely in the time promised. I truly have a new book that fits into the 3-4 I use on a weekly basis. Highly, highly recommend

Terrible and expensive. I bought Ksenia Penkina's class and it was just videos of her talking about herself – a lot of "me me me me me". She talks like she is the top chef in the world. I emailed the Pastry Class team and they would not give me a refund, stating that they have a no refund policy.

I cannot recommend Pastry Class enough! As a passionate pastry lover, I enrolled in the classes taught by two of the most iconic names in the world of pastry—Cédric Grolet and Pierre Hermé—and the experience far exceeded my expectations.

From the very first lesson, the platform impressed me with its high-quality production, clear step-by-step instructions, and the intimate access it provides to the minds and techniques of pastry legends. Cédric Grolet’s course opened my eyes to the world of fruit-based artistry and meticulous detail, while Pierre Hermé's class was a deep dive into elegant flavor pairings and the soul of French patisserie.

I learned more than just recipes—I developed skills, techniques, and a refined understanding of balance, precision, and presentation. Thanks to these masterclasses, I was able to recreate complex pastries that looked like they came straight out of a Parisian boutique. My friends and family were stunned, and I felt proud to call them my own creations.

Pastry Class doesn’t just teach you how to bake—it inspires you to push your boundaries and create true masterpieces. Whether you’re a home baker or a professional looking to level up, this is one of the best investments you can make in your culinary journey.

Bravo and thank you to Pastry Class, Cédric Grolet, and Pierre Hermé for such an unforgettable experience!

took the Cédric Grolet online course via PastryClass, and it truly exceeded my expectations. As a Chef de Partie in a 5-star hotel, I’m always looking to refine my skills, and this class gave me so much valuable insight. The techniques were clearly explained, beautifully filmed, and incredibly inspiring.

Even as an experienced pastry chef, I learned a lot, especially about precision and aesthetics. It helped elevate my work and brought fresh ideas to my daily production.

Thank you to the whole PastryClass team for making such high-level content accessible online. Highly recommended for any pastry professional and anyone that is passionate about pastry.

I have all-bundle, which is access to all classes and this is the best investment in my pastry career. Travelling to take live classes and spending 5k to learn from those chefs, or getting a class on PastryClass with same chefs, watching and rewatching for just $500 - it’s so much value and flexibility for me, I appreciate everything they do at Pastry Class!!
Toni Rodrigues is the best vegan class I ever took, highly recommend!

courses from great pastry chefs, very well explained and accessible 👍🏼

I took Cedric Grolet's online masterclass and even tho it was in French, the translation was so perfect, chef was teaching so much, I really didn't expect to receive such knowledge, inspiration, motivation and skills. He shared his failure stories of how he started his career and his approach to growing ever year as a pastry chef. Of course I already practice making his Fruits pastries from that class (the Lemon and Apple), I've made Flowers as he calls them, which are actually tarts (the Rose and St Honore) the flavors were so elegant, and I did one Nut out of two - the Pistachio of course :) It really is a piece of art, and like any piece of art it must be done with patience and a lot of love for detail. I learned it from chef. Every time I rewatch the class I find new value, it was totally worth it! I also upgraded Cedric's class to Lifetime, it was exoensive but I didn't care, I can rewatch it all my life, practice and get inspired over and over. I never leave feedbacks haha but this is something important for me and really pushes me to create one of the best pastries in the industry. I spoke with the PastryClass team a few times and had only a fun and kind experience! Thank you for changing my pastry, my passion and I have to say getting many new followers is also a big thank you for that! Thank you Cedric and PastryClass! Can't wait to indulge in the next class and the next one! and the next one haha

A Game-Changer for Aspiring Pastry Chefs: Highly Recommend!

Taking classes on this platform has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career. Without any prior experience in the culinary field, I learned directly from some of the world’s most famous pastry chefs—all from the comfort of my home. The classes are incredibly well-structured, with each technique and recipe broken down into easy-to-follow steps. Every layer or component of a dessert has its own dedicated video, ensuring clarity and making sure you're never left confused.

I was able to recreate stunning dishes that match those made by top chefs, and to my surprise, I was hired by one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles “Bottega Louie”—all without any formal training before these courses!

This platform offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity without the need to spend thousands traveling to attend in-person classes. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about learning pastry arts!

Pastry Class is an amazing program! I'm a home baker and I'm very excited that I was able to have these classes. Not only it was very convenient but it's very admirable seeing these amazing famous Chefs sharing their knowledge and their special tips. Through this program we are able to learn from such important chefs and have these iconic recipes in our hands! Till now I have attended the classes of Chef Cedric Grolet and Chef Pierre Herme and I enjoyed them a lot. I definitely suggest it!

Pastry class is one of the best online courses you’ll find ..very professional and informative class ,before pastry class I thought I knew something about pastry but after I bought pastry class I revised myself and made lots of changes in my pastry skills..also behind this platform is an amazing team ...thank you Pastryclass for your amazing support of my work

Brilliantly explained, original recipes and thorough explanations of the basics ! Don’t hesitate a second 😊

PastryClass is an amazing platform that elevates both professional pastry chefs and enthusiastic home bakers by refining their skills. The experience is akin to personalized, one-on-one training. Having completed two classes so far, I’ve already applied what I’ve learned, and the results are unmistakably impressive.

Christophe Adam's class was a game-changer for perfecting choux pastry, especially with his tips on using a fan-forced oven. I actually did a happy dance in the kitchen when I saw the final result! No more burnt or misshapen éclairs. Each class is incredibly detailed and well-explained, making éclair prep seem like a breeze. My confidence in making éclairs has skyrocketed, and I can't wait to experiment with my own creations and flavour combinations.

I think pastryclass.com is a fantastic way to learn something new from pastrychefs around the world.
You can learn from your home with just a computer and some internet - How is that not great?
So I appreciated the course with Romano Morato - It was so professional and I learned so many things about bonbons!😍
I would recommend it anytime!

I’m in love with the courses! 😍Romano Morato is such a professional and the courses are so informative🥹
