From Engineering to the Art of French Pastry​Hi, I am Vanessa! My journey started in a very different world working as an IT Engineer in France. While I spent my days solving complex problems, my true sanctuary was always the kitchen. Baking has been my lifelong passion and my favorite way to relax while raising my four children.​When we moved to Australia four years ago, I decided to turn my passion into VLJpastry. My mission? To teach you how to achieve professional results using standard home kitchen equipment. You do not need a high tech lab to bake like a French chef!​Authentic Boutique Workshops at My Studio​I believe the best way to learn is by doing. That is why I host small, intimate groups of 1 to 4 people in my cozy Frenchs Forest kitchen. This ensures you get my full attention and a truly personalized experience.​I do not just do demonstrations; I offer a full hands on experience where you will do everything from A to Z. We always take a break in the middle for a tasting session, allowing us to relax and enjoy the moment de détente together. It is not just a class; it is a connection.​Team Building, Parties and French Immersion​Building on this intimate experience, I also offer boutique Team Building sessions and private events. Baking together is a fantastic way to foster communication and creativity within a team all while having fun! I can host these at my studio or travel to your office or home kitchen for birthdays and corporate gatherings.​For those looking for a cultural twist, I also provide a total French immersion. Having hosted several groups wanting a day in Paris vibe, I can conduct the entire workshop in French. It is a wonderful way to practice the language while whisking a chocolate ganache!​My goal is simple: to give you the skills and the confidence to recreate French magic in your own home.
