Shared Experience
Your experience
We will learn together, hands-on, some basic Italian pastry basics. We will prepare classic sponge cake, ideal for cakes to be filled and decorated. We will make different versions of shortcrust pastry: classic shortcrust with flour, eggs, sugar and butter; oil shortcrust, which uses oil instead of butter; and light shortcrust, without eggs. In addition, we will make custard and chocolate custard. With these preparations, we will create small treats to taste together, to end our experience in sweetness.

- It was so nice and unique experience to learn cooking at a local house. I strongly recommend the class! Clara and her family are super kind and warm people. We had very great time there.
- We had the pleasure of taking a cooking class where we made homemade pasta and tiramisu, and we were lucky enough to have Clara as our host. Clara made the entire experience unforgettable. She was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming, instantly making us feel at ease in her beautiful family home. Her warmth, along with that of her entire family, created such a special atmosphere. This was truly a highlight of our trip to Sorrento—an experience we’ll always remember fondly.
- We spent a wonderful evening with Clara in her home, cooking together and eating her beautifully prepared dishes. We appreciated the thought and care that she put into our food, and the conversation we shared during a very pleasant evening. We would highly recommend booking with her for an authentic regional experience. Clara is an excellent cook, teacher, and hostess and we would return again, if the opportunity presents itself. Thank you, Clara!
- We cannot recommend this class enough! Clara was very knowledgeable and made the process so easy and fun! Being able to sit down and enjoy the food we created just moments earlier with wine was a plus!
- What an amazing experience. We enjoyed every moment. So accommodating from the moment we booked. The food was delicious! I would highly recommend to anyone coming to the area.

Where
Clara
Cesarina from 2023Location: Piano di Sorrento Languages: Italian, English, French, SpanishMy name is Clara, born in Paris to Campanian parents. I lived in Sorrento until the age of 18, and then I traveled around the world for work. I immediately fell in love with trying international and multicultural cuisine, and while working on cruise ships as a hotel manager, I learned firsthand how to navigate large kitchens on 4-star floating hotels. It was there that my passion for pastry also emerged, leading me to deepen my studies at Compait and attend various courses for artisan bread-making. I greatly enjoy teaching what has always been a profound passion of mine. My specialties undoubtedly include desserts, artisan bread, basic pastry, and the traditional sweets of my region. Pastiera, sfogliatelle, and other delights. I also love making pizza and fresh pasta with great enthusiasm.
