Master Modern Pâtisserie with Confidence
Join pastry chef Faye Palmqvist for in-person patisserie classes in Chester, UK or online from anywhere.
Learn how to create elegant, delicious cakes & desserts using natural, seasonal ingredients.
Whether you're baking for pleasure or building a business, my proven methods will help you
bake with confidence, skill and purpose.
What’s Holding You Back?
You’re not short on passion — but you might be short on clarity.
Maybe your cakes and desserts taste fine, but you know they could be better. Maybe your skills have plateaued, and you’re unsure how to progress. Or maybe you're self-taught and just need more confidence to level up.
Here’s the shift I offer:
- From trial-and-error to understanding exactly why your recipes work
- From artificial flavours to natural ingredients that let real taste shine
- From overly sweet, over-styled bakes to elegant, flavour-led patisserie
- From endless scrolling to focused, hands-on pastry training
- From second-guessing your skills to creating results you’re proud of
Together, we’ll rebuild your baking from the inside out — rooted in professional technique, guided by flavour, and elevated through seasonal, consciously chosen ingredients.

A Different Kind of Teacher - Why Thousands of Bakers
Trust Faye Palmqvist
I’m a classically trained pastry chef with over 20 years of experience — and I believe that the best baking starts with two things: ingredients that matter, and a clear understanding of why your recipes work.
I created this platform to be the place I wish I’d had when I started baking at home:
No fluff. No guesswork. Just professional techniques made simple, and clean, flavour-forward desserts that make people say wow.
Whether you're troubleshooting a ganache, prepping for a dinner party, or trying to scale a sponge recipe to fit your tin — this is where you’ll find the answers.
You bring the passion. I’ll give you the clarity and confidence to match.
