About Baking Refinement Academy
Founded in 2010, Baking Refinement Academy has been at the forefront of professional baking education, combining traditional European techniques with modern innovation. Our academy was born from a simple belief: that exceptional baking is both an art and a science that deserves meticulous attention to detail.
Our founder, Master Baker Elena Rodriguez, trained under Michelin-starred pastry chefs in Paris and Vienna before establishing our academy in New York. With over 15 years of teaching experience, Elena and our team of certified instructors have guided more than 2,000 students toward achieving their baking dreams.
We specialize in small-class instruction, ensuring each student receives personalized attention and hands-on experience with professional-grade equipment. Our curriculum covers everything from fundamental bread-making techniques to advanced sugar work and chocolate tempering.
At Baking Refinement, we believe that great baking requires understanding ingredients, mastering techniques, and developing an artistic eye. Our graduates have gone on to open successful bakeries, work in prestigious hotels, and even compete in international baking competitions.
