Tartacadabra

‘The courses are fantastic—really great—and you learn so much. They provide everything. They’re punctual, detail-oriented, professional, yet also warm and friendly. That’s why I recommend their courses as the best in the area. Plus, it’s all in a beautiful setting. Thanks to them, I now do what I do and know what I know about sugar paste and fondant. Thank you, Tartacadabra.’

‘In my line of work, we talk about “the basics” and “top of the line.” You always work with the top of the line, and that’s why, when you take a course with you, you get to know perfection. I’d say you spoil us students… It’s impossible to go wrong with Lara and Julio.’

‘Thank you for awakening in me this hidden passion that I now love so much. You were the first to teach me those very first steps—with such kindness and warmth that anyone would be hooked… A million thanks.
I couldn’t even tell you how many courses I’ve done all over Spain… And in my opinion, you’re right up there with the very best.’

‘You’re amazing teachers and wonderful people. Your workshop is welcoming and cheerful, and your handout has become a staple in my kitchen. I’ve always been amazed at the finish of your work and how you help mine reach a very decent level every time.
You’re generous with your time and your gifts—and don’t even get me started on those brownie cupcakes and Lara’s mom’s famous cookies!’

‘Out of all the workshops I’ve attended, without a doubt, the best (and by far) are the ones at Tartacadabra. I can’t find a single flaw—everything is so well organized, and the personal attention for each student is incredible… The techniques have helped me a lot; the facilities are beautiful, and you really do learn a ton.
Both Lara and Julio are lovely.’

‘I’ve attended several courses with Tartacadabra, and I can honestly say I’ve learned and enjoyed so much! The atmosphere is warm, the explanations are clear, and we always receive a handout with all the information, recipes, etc.
During the course, we’re offered tea, coffee… and delicious sweets that make the experience even more enjoyable, if that’s possible.
It’s a real treat to take a course with Lara and Julio. ^_^’

‘By now, I think no one doubts Lara and Julio’s professionalism. They’ve always exceeded my expectations.
They’re both wonderful people, and going to their workshop has become like having coffee with two friends (from whom I learn a ton, of course).
What you don’t expect is how much you actually end up learning—and they always answer all your questions (and I ask a lot!). And you’d better come hungry—there’s no way you’ll want to miss any of Lara’s sweet creations!’

‘THANK YOU for being such amazing teachers. You didn’t give us a single moment to doubt ourselves or hold back—instead, you made the course so engaging that I, personally, had the time of my life. And I think my classmates did too… actually, I’m sure of it.
I can’t go without mentioning LARA’S FABULOUS BROWNIES, which hooked me for life from the first bite… Mmmmmm, the best I’ve ever had!!!’

‘It was an honor for me to attend one of your courses—wonderful teachers, personalized attention, and attention to every detail. As for the schedule and organization: perfect, just perfect.
Throughout the course, we were treated to coffee, tea, various sweets, and a delicious lunch—just as great hosts do (THANK YOU).
Honestly, I have so many good things to say, and this is an experience I’ll always carry in my heart… I only wish you weren’t so far away. Hugs!’

‘Everything was amazing: course organization, punctuality, fondant techniques… Right from the start, we were given a welcome gift, and throughout the day, drinks and cupcakes that were absolutely delicious.
The cake turned out beautiful, with perfect finishing touches, and at the end we were given a diploma and a handout with cake and filling recipes…
Lara and Julio are delightful—attentive to everyone at all times—you can tell they have a lot of experience in this sweet world.’

‘Lara and Julio, whom I now consider my new friends, are incredibly professional and kind. They make the work seem easy, even when it’s not—and once you’ve followed their steps, you find yourself saying: “Did I really make this?”
The information you gave us was very thorough—not only was it all in the handout, but you also answered every question we asked, even when we bombarded you! And the techniques actually work: sometimes theory is hard to apply, but you make it simple. I use them all the time in my little projects.’

‘I got started in creative baking thanks to Tartacadabra. Their fondant cake beginner’s course was so good that I was soon able to start creating my own designs for friends and family.
Their human touch is full of generosity, and they teach with great perfectionism. It’s incredible how, even if you’ve never touched fondant before, you go home with edible works of art of the highest quality.
I’ll always be grateful—you made me who I am today.’

‘All I can say about the teachers is wonderful things—and every one of them is true. For me, Lara is my guru, my sensei in baking. So yes, she is MY TEACHER—and Julio, even though he says “nah, I don’t know much,” he’s my TEACHER too—you’ve got magic hands for modeling! 😉
And why do I say this with such certainty? Because beyond knowing so much (you can see the quality of their work on their website and blog), they have endless patience when explaining things. In their hands, nothing seems difficult—and they actually make you do it yourself. On top of that, they pass on a contagious passion for decoration and a kindness that’s out of this world.’

‘I came all the way from Jijona (Alicante), over an hour’s drive—and let me tell you: every minute was worth it. That’s why I recommend this amazing experience to anyone wanting to start or grow in this sweet world.
Lara and Julio are two wonderful people—truly kind and humble in their spectacular craft!’

‘I’d like to encourage everyone to step into the magical workshop of Tartacadabra, to let themselves be carried away by the sweet magic in the air, and to unleash their imagination… I’m sure you won’t regret it. But be warned—once you try it, you’ll come back for more, guaranteed!
When I hear the word Tartacadabra, I think of sugar, glitter, laughter, imagination… A fun-filled day of sweetness, magic, and color!!!’
