About the Founder
Celesteyum Academy was founded from Shobha’s long-standing interest in baking and her experience in education. Coming from a family connected with the hospitality industry, she developed an interest in baking that gradually grew from a personal hobby into a professional pursuit.
Shobha holds a Master’s degree in Life Science and previously worked in the creative field as an animator before becoming an academic advisor at an animation college. Her experience in education and mentoring later became an important part of her approach to teaching baking.
Her baking journey included intensive training at Lavonne and advanced pastry training at the Academy of Pastry Arts. Over time, she began sharing her knowledge with learners interested in understanding both the practical techniques and the underlying principles of baking.
Through Celesteyum Academy, Shobha continues to teach learners with different goals and experience levels, from beginners and home bakers to students exploring professional baking and pastry education. You can also explore Celesteyum’s baking guides, techniques and career resources.
