Baking Boot Camp (St. Helena, CA)


Bread and baked goods are staples of any meal, whether it’s a savory breakfast scone, a hearty sandwich rye, or a melt-in-your-mouth dessert cookie straight out of the oven. Expanding your baking repertoire opens up a whole new world of possibilities for your menus.

During Baking Boot Camp, you will learn the fundamentals of baking as well as those specific to bread baking. You’ll discover the techniques used to create basic items such as cookies and brownies, muffins, quick breads, scones, and pies.

After the lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on bakeshop production in this basic training course, you’ll return home ready to dazzle your family and friends with your newfound confidence and skills.

When you enlist in CIA Baking Boot Camp, you will receive two chef’s uniforms, each with a jacket, pants, and a neckerchief. Paper chef’s hats, side towels, and aprons will be provided in class.
