WHO IS YOUR TEACHER
VIKTORIA SOKOLIUK
Hi, I’m Viktoria — a Ukranian pastry chef with 12 years of experience and a deep love for teaching. I started my career creating custom cakes for birthdays, weddings, and special celebrations. Those early years taught me that desserts are not just recipes — they’re part of memories.
For the past 8 years, I’ve been teaching pastry art around the world and online.
I’m also the author of three bestselling cheesecake books, with over 250,000 copies sold, and the founder of an online school that has helped more than 20,000 students learn to bake with confidence.
Now I’m building “The Bake Academy” to help even more people fall in love with desserts — through clear techniques, practical lessons, and a lot of heart.

“Your recipes are incredibly elegant, delicious, and perfectly balanced.
The theory is very rich, yet explained so clearly that even complex techniques feel simple and approachable.
I’m sincerely grateful for your enormous work — you truly inspire people to create.
This learning experience is a real discovery for anyone who wants not just to cook, but to create small works of art.”
Diana L.
“Thank you so much for such an incredibly delicious course and for the huge amount of useful, high-quality information. You truly give so much knowledge and explain everything in great detail. You also help not only with the course topics but beyond them as well.
Now, when I open a recipe book, I understand that I can prepare absolutely any recipe. I’m thrilled with the learning process and very happy that I decided to join.”
Linda P.
“I’m so happy that I purchased access to your lessons. The way you present the material is amazing. Everything is explained so clearly—there isn’t a single confusing moment. Both the videos and the recipes are very well described, and everything is made beautifully and with high quality.
Sometimes I watch the videos without even cooking—they’re simply calming and enjoyable to watch. I rarely write feedback, but this time I just couldn’t keep it to myself.”😊
Carolina T.
“I hesitated because I’m not a professional—I simply love cooking and I do it for my family.
One day, I walked into a pastry shop in my city and saw your books—I completely fell in love with your style of explaining and teaching.
That’s when I realized I absolutely had to take this opportunity and enroll. I’m deeply impressed by how much a person can love their craft and how beautifully that feeling can be conveyed through text, images, and the screen.
Thank you for what you do. You truly make this world more beautiful with your passion and dedication.” 🤍
Irina S.
“Victoria, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity to experience your work. As I read and watch your materials, I truly feel how much love, dedication, and tremendous effort you’ve poured into every detail.
Everything you create is not only impeccably beautiful and informative, but also deeply professional and intellectually inspiring. It’s a rare joy to encounter work of such depth and integrity.” 🤍
Alina K.
“Your teaching style is truly something special.
After your lessons, I felt a renewed creative impulse – as if I’d reconnected with my passion for confectionery.
You are not only a talented professional but also an incredibly pleasant person, whose positive energy is palpable even through the screen and in your books. It’s a rare gift to be such a master of your craft while also being such an inspiring person.
Thank you for your hard work, the aesthetic beauty, your generosity, and the profound love for your profession that you so readily share.“
Elena S.
“I was absolutely blown away by how incredibly detailed your recipes are! It’s such a shame I didn’t come across you earlier in my baking journey. Now, I genuinely feel happy and successful every time I follow your clear explanations. 🥰”
Patricia N.
“I want to personally thank you for the course! ❤️ I’ve been following you for a long time, but I only started baking with your guidance in 2019 when I made my own wedding cake. Thanks to you, I now bake cakes for all holidays using your recipes, and even other desserts too. I will continue to re-watch your videos, read the theoretical material, and refine the knowledge I’ve gained.
THANK YOU! ❤️🌷😘”
Anna R.
“I began my confectionery journey with your books, nearly 7 years ago. Just recently, I became a pastry chef for a restaurant chain in my city, and to this day, I still use your recipes and books. You are such an inspiration! I’m so happy that my sister once gifted me your book.
Thank you for everything! I wish you all the happiness. Live with joy and know that you are wonderful! Always! Forever with you❤️”
