Meet some successful bakers who have gone through the Bakels training

Sue Brocherie - Cake and Biscuit “We can see results and it has been really beneficial. Especially rewarding for our teams on the production floor...” Sue says her apprenticeship has given her an enormous confidence boost and having it on paper from a recognised training provider saying she is completely qualified means everything.

Britney Goldsack - PastryOnce Britney completes her first strand, which is a total of three years she would like to do the bread stand and then the cake and biscuit strand. These will give her recognised qualifications as a baker with the skills to work independently in any part of the bakery, even moving up to a management/supervisory role and she's keen to remain at Ten O'clock Cookie Bakery Café because of the variety it provides and the good working environment. “Later down the track I'd love to own a bakery.”

Pippa Edwards - PastryPippa will complete her baking apprenticeship soon but has already been promoted to a supervisory role. Pippa explains that within baking apprenticeships you can focus on a particular strand now and she chose pastry. “I like that there's so much opportunity within it. You can specialise in fancy cakes and different pastries.”
