Chantal Akl

I am a professionally trained pastry chef with over 10 years of experience, having studied at Le Cordon Bleu London and Westminster Kingsway College. My background includes luxury hospitality, catering, private events, and running my own pastry business, giving me both professional expertise and real-world industry insights.

My lessons are tailored to every students goals and experience, whether you’re a complete beginner, a passionate home baker, or an aspiring pastry professional. I teach a wide range of skills, including French pastry, cakes, artisan breads, chocolate work, plated desserts, and essential baking techniques.

I believe baking is about understanding techniques, not just following recipes. My teaching style is patient, supportive, and hands-on, helping you build confidence while explaining the science behind each method. Every lesson is interactive, practical, and designed to help you achieve consistent, professional-quality results.

Whether you’d like to master a single recipe, improve your skills, or follow a structured learning plan, I’ll create personalized lessons to suit your pace.
