LILA Pastry School by BORK Has Opened.

The gt restaurant team, founded by Galaktion and Elina Tabidze, has launched a new initiative in gastronomic education — LILA Pastry School by BORK. It's a pastry school that will become a new venue for anyone who wants to learn to make desserts at the level of the capital's best pastry shops, whether they're professionals, just starting their careers, or simply sweets lovers.

The school was created in partnership with BORK, an international brand that unites a design-driven approach with technology. This partnership, according to the founders, highlights values shared by both sides: attention to detail, an interest in the new, and a drive for high quality. The space is fully equipped with BORK appliances — blenders, kitchen machines, stand mixers, and ice cream makers — allowing students to work at the same level as in a real professional kitchen.

The curriculum, developed by gt's pastry chefs, includes courses based on their own methods. Students will be able not only to recreate the recognizable desserts from LILA Pastry and Atelier de Tartelettes, but also gain solid skills to help them grow further in the profession or simply delight loved ones. The "Festive Desserts" course gives a foundation for creating showstopping treats, "Sliced Cakes" introduces techniques for precise balance and shape, "Unusual Flavor Combinations" reveals an approach to working with contrasts, "Eclairs by Season" shows how to adapt a menu to the time of year, and "Display-Case Desserts" teaches how to make attractive sweets you want to photograph right away.

Classes are held in small groups so every participant has a chance to practice the skills hands-on rather than just watch the process. This format suits different levels of preparation and lets students really get a feel for how complex desserts are made.

The team is already planning to expand the program. In the future, LILA Pastry School will add coffee masterclasses in partnership with BORK, as well as classes for kids. All of this makes the project not just a place where recipes are taught, but a space for connection, inspiration, and shared experience among people united by a love of sweets.
