I truly believe Elena is the best teacher in pastry art! I have never seen such detailed and content-rich lessons from any other instructor or course. I’ve bought all the lessons and practiced them all — and still, each one has something new and useful. I honestly can’t imagine what my cakes would look like if I hadn’t once discovered Elena. I’m endlessly grateful for everything she has taught me.

One day, I saw an online course advertised and thought: "This looks incredibly beautiful, but it must be so difficult and impossible to do." Still, I decided to take the risk — and I’ve never regretted it! For 4 years now, I’ve been learning with great joy, practicing new techniques, and eagerly waiting for each of your lessons! They are so well thought-out and detailed down to the smallest things that it’s simply impossible not to succeed. And the way they are presented is just incredible!
Every time I finish working on a cake or practicing a lesson, I think about how wonderful it was that I decided back then to buy my very first class from Glavgnom©. Almost everything I can do today is thanks to you and the incredible knowledge you share with us. We love you!

I want to leave a review about how grateful I am to you.
I took more than one course with Lena, and each time it was a real celebration of creativity—a sea of inspiration, new techniques and methods that opened up a whole world of possibilities for me. Thank you so much for the warm atmosphere and for generously sharing your experience, my guru and guide in the world of creativity!

Lena, I want to thank you so much for your lessons and knowledge.
Thanks to you, I learned how to paint on cakes, discovered what modeling chocolate is — and now I absolutely love working with it! I’ve been with you since the very beginning, and even back then I realized how thoroughly, clearly, and understandably you explain things in your lessons. That is truly valuable — not everyone can do it like you.

When I came to Glavgnom’s classes, I couldn’t even imagine that they would become a turning point in my creative work.
Each class is a concentration of knowledge, inspiration, and unconventional ideas.
Thanks to Lena, I learned to see a cake not just as a dessert, but as a work of art. This perspective and my new skills helped me take a bold step—to enter the competition.
The result? Gold!
And I am sure that without you, this would not have happened. Your support, attention to detail, and ability to unlock your students' potential are invaluable. Lena, this gold is yours too

A few years ago, I came across the Glavgnom page — and what magic I discovered for myself! I had never seen anything like it anywhere else.
At first, I thought such decoration was only something I could dream about, so I just kept following Elena’s page. Then, one day, it all began! I started buying lessons one after another — painting, 3D, flowers, modeling chocolate. I reached a whole new level of decorating and still continue working with Elena’s techniques. I am deeply grateful for the accessible and clear lessons, for the feedback on every question, and for giving me the chance to believe in myself

I got to know Elena and her school about 3 years ago. My journey began with the Christmas tree lesson — that’s when I realized lessons could be so long and detailed. I discovered modeling chocolate, and Elena’s recipe is just perfect (I've tried many).
Then I started exploring painting. My first challenging work was Santa. In fact, every one of Elena’s cakes is a story of its own. Her painting lessons are so detailed that it’s simply impossible not to learn. In just one lesson, you can master several techniques that you’ll later use again. Every time I finish a project, I think to myself: "Did I really do this?" Elena is a true magician and a wonderful teacher. When she launched the club, I didn’t hesitate for a moment to join — it’s full of useful information and help with cake decorating. The club itself could replace an entire course

I have so much to say, so I’ll start from the beginning…
Before Elena’s masterclasses, I only painted on gingerbread, and I was very afraid to switch to decorating cakes in a new format.
BUT little by little, I began to enjoy painting and working with modeling chocolate…
And now, I’m no longer afraid to paint on cakes — in fact, I’ll say more: I truly love decorating cakes with hand painting.
I can say for sure that with Elena’s lessons, you will succeed! Most importantly, the fear of "Oh, but can I really do it?" will disappear.
Believe me — YOU CAN!

Lena, thank you so much for opening the doors to a new world for me — the world of MODELING CHOCOLATE. This material truly works wonders and offers so many possibilities. I want to especially thank you for your lessons on painting on chocolate. Of course, I’m behind on many things, but like a poor student I promise to catch up :) You have so much patience and love for your craft — you are an incredible TALENT.
I wish you endless inspiration and grateful students, and I always look forward to your new ideas

I’m constantly learning from Lena.
Each of her lessons is a detailed "instruction manual" on how to create the magic this Sorceress dreamed up and made on a cake—even for someone who isn’t a wizard at all.

The lessons are laid out "on the shelves": everything is shown, told, and described in detail.
All the information—from baking the cake (if the lesson includes it) to the final brushstroke in the painting or the last sprig in the decor—is presented step by step and clearly.
Honestly, it’s impossible not to succeed!

And what’s also important—it's delicious!
Delicious cake recipes.
Delicious chocolate ganache (both dark and white).
And the modeling chocolate used for decor and figurines is also very tasty!

The design of the tech cards is so beautiful—you flip through them and just admire!

I remember my emotions after every cake I made following Lena’s lessons—when you look at your work and from sheer delight… you cry, and you feel endless gratitude for what she invented and for how she explained and showed how to do it! And an overwhelming urge to hug Lena!

And when you bring the cake to a celebration, open the box, and see the amazed faces—the joy from the work you’ve done is boundless!

Lena, a big request—please don’t stop 🙏! We love you very much, and we love what you do!
May the source of your magic never run dry!

Lena, thank you so much for the knowledge and skills you share in your lessons!
I’m someone who had never painted and never sculpted anything before. Every time I start another one of your courses, I think: "I'll never be able to do this."
And then—what joy and confidence I feel afterwards, when I can say: "I did it!"
So many times the knowledge you give has come in handy later on in my orders.
Thank you, dear teacher!
