What to Expect from the Medovik Cake Masterclass in London

This isn’t your typical baking class — it’s a thoughtfully crafted experience that combines skill-building, cultural discovery, and a dash of indulgence. Led by Geanina, whose passion for Medovik began at age 10, the class offers a rare opportunity to learn from someone with both professional credentials and personal dedication. Her background as a semi-finalist on British Bake Off: The Professionals 2021 and her over 8 years of experience with Prestige Patisserie guarantee you’ll be in capable hands.

The journey begins with a welcome snack — a traditional Romanian cheese puff that sets a friendly, inviting tone. As you settle in, you’ll be offered coffee, tea, and refreshments to keep your energy up. The intimate group size, limited to just five participants, means you’ll get plenty of individual attention, ask questions freely, and really grasp each step.

Learning the Secrets of Medovik

The core of this experience is the step-by-step baking of Medovik, a cake famed for its delicate layers and honey-infused flavor. Geanina will guide you through making the light, honey-flavored discs, emphasizing the importance of precision in shaping each layer. You’ll discover how to assemble a six-layer cake with finesse, ensuring each layer is perfectly balanced.

A highlight is the frosting made with burnt honey, which provides the cake’s signature lightness and subtle caramel undertone. Geanina shares tips for achieving that ideal consistency and flavor, which can often be tricky to replicate at home. Several reviews mention how “she explained everything clearly and answered all our questions,” making this a genuinely enriching learning experience.

Tasting and Celebrating Your Creation

After baking, you’ll get to sample a slice of the freshly made Medovik, paired with a glass of Prosecco — a perfect way to toast your new skills. The cake’s flavor is described as light yet rich, with a honey sweetness that’s perfectly balanced by the creamy frosting. The pairing with Prosecco adds a crisp, refreshing contrast, elevating the tasting experience.

Take-Home Baking Skills

Perhaps the most valuable part of this class is what you’ll carry home — the confidence and skills to recreate Medovik for friends or family. Geanina’s approach makes the process accessible, and you’ll leave with a detailed recipe to replicate the cake at home, plus the techniques to troubleshoot common issues.
