Our Mission
Baking has always been about more than the recipe.
Before baking is about technique; it's about trust — in your hands, your instincts, and your ability to teach someone else to do the same. Teach Me How to Bake was founded on that belief.
That the kitchen is one of the most powerful environments for learning, confidence-building, and connection. And that the people who teach there deserve a professional infrastructure that matches the weight of what they're doing.
The gap was real. The solution had to be too.
For years, culinary educators across the country were building baking programs from scratch — pulling from Pinterest boards, adapting recipes into lesson plans, and filling in gaps that no single resource was designed to fill. Not because they lacked skill or dedication. Because a structured, standards-aligned curriculum framework for baking and pastry education simply did not exist.
Teach Me How to Bake was built to close that gap — permanently.
The origin.
It started with the parents of my in-person students asking for online baking classes during the Covid-19 pandemic.
For over a decade, I had been teaching kids in the kitchen—in schools across the metro Atlanta area, through Wilton cake decorating classes at Michaels and Joann's, in safe houses as life skills, and in my own home, where I homeschooled my children. When baking is taught with intention, sequence, and skill progression, students don't just learn to bake. They learn to think, to problem-solve, and to trust themselves in an environment where mistakes are expected and recoverable.
That conviction became an online baking academy, blog, and published book — Teach Me How to Bake V1 in 2021 on Amazon. It grew into an almost 200-page homeschool baking curriculum, Teach Me How to Bake V2, in 2025. A full program, sequenced and skill-based, built for families who wanted to teach baking the right way.
When the time came to build the high school version, something unexpected emerged. Teachers weren't searching for textbooks. They were online, looking for materials that could anchor a real program, finding scattered resources that weren't built to any standard, and piecing together what they could with what was available.
That observation changed everything.
Baking and Pastry Curriculum was built in direct response—a structured, three-level, industry-aligned framework available exactly where educators were already looking. Not a shortcut. Not a convenience product. A professional standard for programs to elevate too.
What we are committed to.
Commitment 1
Standards
Baking and pastry education deserves the same rigor applied to every other career and technical discipline.
Every unit, every lesson, and every assessment in this curriculum is mapped to ServSafe, American Culinary Federation, and Retail Bakers of America standards — because the students in these classrooms are building real careers.
Commitment 2
Completeness
An educator should never have to build from scratch.
Every unit in this curriculum arrives complete — lesson plans, slideshows, student handouts, assessments, review games, and sub plans included. The infrastructure is already done.
The teaching is yours.
