+ About ATLA

Baked with Love.

For Chef Susan, the perfect pastry isn’t just beautiful — it has to be unforgettable.

Our Philosophy

Flavour, texture, and the emotions it creates.

Every recipe Chef Susan creates begins with one goal: to make every bite the most delicious it can possibly be. Years of refining recipes, testing techniques, and sourcing the finest ingredients have shaped her philosophy that exceptional baking is defined not only by appearance, but by flavour, texture, and the emotions it creates. Beautiful cakes may catch your eye, but truly delicious pastries are what people remember.

Chef Susan’s professional journey includes renowned establishments such as Lady M and W Hotel, alongside respected restaurants and cafés, where she mastered the art of creating elegant pastries, cakes, plated desserts, and contemporary bakes that delight both the eyes and the palate.

Passionate about sharing her craft, she went on to become a pastry instructor at leading culinary institutions including BITC, SHATEC, SSA Culinary Institute, and Allspice Culinary Institute. Over the years, she has mentored aspiring pastry chefs, home bakers, and professionals, teaching not only the techniques behind great baking, but also the pursuit of exceptional flavour and uncompromising quality.

Today, through ATLA Baking Studio, Chef Susan continues to share the recipes, techniques, and attention to detail that have defined her career. Every class is thoughtfully designed to help students understand not just how to bake, but why each technique matters — so they can consistently create pastries that are as delicious as they are beautiful.

Whether you’re taking your first baking class or refining advanced pastry skills, Chef Susan’s mission is simple: to help you create bakes that people will remember long after the last bite.

She looks forward to welcoming you into the kitchen and sharing her passion for creating truly unforgettable pastries.
