The Dessert Lab

A pastry community to connect, share, and create with chefs and bakers worldwide.

A global pastry community where professionals and home bakers connect, share, and create, powered by real conversations and a living library of recipes and plated formulas.


We don’t teach here: we share. 

The Dessert Lab is your place to talk, share, and discover all things pastry, from recipes to ideas, from chefs worldwide.

Whether you’re plating desserts in a Michelin-starred kitchen or baking from home, The Dessert Lab is your space to learn, share, and be inspired. 

We bring together all kinds of pastry lovers in one welcoming hub.



Ilaria saw how chefs and bakers often work in silos and reinvent the wheel. The Dessert Lab brings everyone into one supportive space to swap ideas, test components, and turn concepts into plated desserts faster — without gatekeeping.



“It’s rare to find a space where pros and home bakers actually learn from each other. The Dessert Lab is that space , collaborative, generous, and inspiring.” 
— Member, The Dessert Lab

Is this a course?

No. We don’t teach here: we share. You’ll find discussions, recipes, and feedback,  learning happens together.

Do I need to be a pro?

No. All levels are welcome. The only requirement is a love for pastry.

How does the community work?

You’ll join our private online space where you can start conversations, post questions, and share desserts. No algorithms, just real people talking about pastry.

What if I don’t have time to post often?

That’s okay! You can jump in when you want, browse the recipe library, or just read discussions until you’re ready to share.

What makes this different from Instagram / Facebook groups?

The Dessert Lab is distraction-free: no ads, no endless scrolling. Just organized conversations, recipes, and pastry lovers focused on learning together.

Can I get feedback on my own creations?

Yes. Members share drafts, ideas, and photos all the time, and receive supportive, constructive feedback from members and Chef Ilaria.

Are there recipes in the community? What kind?

Yes. Inside you’ll find a living library of 500+ recipes across 40+ categories: mousses, sponges, creams, glazes, ganaches, sorbets, and more. 
Plus, full plated formulas that help you combine elements into complete desserts.
