Finding truly delicious gluten-free pastries can feel like a treasure hunt. Beautiful treats exist, but they’re often expensive, inconsistent, or simply hard to come by.
This hands-on WEA Gluten-Free Pastry Masterclass gives you the skills to create your own high-quality baked goods at home, so you can enjoy exceptional flavour and texture without compromise.
With step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn how gluten-free ingredients work, how to achieve tenderness and structure, and how to bake confidently using techniques that really deliver.
Across the session, you’ll make three decadent gluten-free desserts: soft almond paste biscuits, a silky burnt Basque cheesecake with fresh raspberry sauce, and indulgent chocolate sponge sweets filled with zabaione and chocolate cream.
Whether you’re gluten-free yourself or baking for someone who is, this workshop offers the perfect blend of technique, creativity, and indulgence, sending you home with new skills, full recipes, and your own handmade treats to enjoy.
Dr Ilenia Scuderi has been teaching at WEA since September 2023.
Born and raised in Aprilia, Italy, Ilenia is a qualified pastry chef and language tutor with an Italian Pastry Diploma, Italian teaching qualification and a Degree in Philosophy.
