I happened to be in Bangalore for some commitment and searched for two days baking class for which Celesteyum Academy name came up and I contacted them. After checking theirs reviews I enrolled for the class and enjoyed the learning experience. Shobha mam was very professional upfront and very elaborate in briefing about the basics of baking cake. Their team members were highly knowledgeable and helped me in creating a cake as per my likings. At the end of two days class I felt confident of baking my own cakes. Also, I enrolled one to one class for bread making with Shobha mam which was truly amazing as I learnt the basics of bread making to few advanced techniques of making pesto breads. We made buns, pizzas, sandwich breads and pesto bread. An absolutely magical experience and something to takeaway. As my instructor for baking Shobha mam and Celesteyum Academy will always have a special place in my heart. I would be looking forward to learn few more baking techniques especially sourdough and cookies.

I recently completed my Diploma course at Celesteyum Academy and had a very positive learning experience overall. The course was well-structured and covered both theoretical concepts and practical baking techniques in a clear and easy-to-follow manner.
The trainers, Chef Shobha (Founder), Chef Yashwanth and Chef Jagadeesh were knowledgeable, approachable, and provided guidance throughout the sessions. I particularly appreciated the valuable tips and insights they shared during classes, as well as the patience and support they showed to all students throughout the course.
The learning environment was encouraging and supportive, and the course helped me build confidence and strengthen my understanding of baking techniques.
I would definitely recommend this academy to anyone interested in learning baking, whether as a hobby or with the goal of pursuing it professionally.

5 stars for Celesteyum Academy! I attended the Sourdough Breads hands-on class in January, and it was a fantastic experience. Chef Shobha is a brilliant instructor—her polite nature and incredibly neat workspace made the whole process so enjoyable. I was so impressed with her teaching that I booked the Breads and Breakfast Pastries class for my staff at It's Brown and Roasted that exact same day. My team absolutely loved their training and learned so much. Highly recommend Chef Shobha for anyone looking for top-notch professional baking classes!

I was looking for a short course and that is when I came across Celesteyum Academy.
It was an excellent experience where most of the basic skills was covered in chocolate making without overwhelming us. We had lots of hands on training .Shoba mam was very friendly and also a very knowledgeable person who is always willing to help us without hesitation. Overall a great experience in a short period of time .

I just finished the 4-Week Entrepreneur Baking Course at Celesteyum academy and it was nothing but incredible.
This program is a perfect blend of how to bake like a professional and how to actually run a business. The classes are completely hands-on. I learned the much required techniques for baking breads, cakes, confectioneries and desserts, plus the crucial business stuff like figuring out costs, planning deliveries, and making my products look great.
Chef Shobha and Chef Yashwant are such an amazing teachers. They are so experienced, patient, and genuinely passionate about teaching. They help you build the confidence and mindset you need to succeed, not just giving you recipes.
If you are serious about learning to bake from scratch or turning your baking hobby into something real then this is the place you need to be at.
Don't hesitate, trust your instincts and go for it. Highly recommended!!!!

So, I was a last minute enrollment into their 4 week entrepreneurial baking class since I was visiting home from the US and thought of getting my hands on to learn new skills and Voila, I got away feeling proud of making so many of my favorites that I never even dreamt of creating one day. All thanks to Shobha ma’am ( a baking Goddess), Shaama ma’am (a baking diva) and the entire staff of interns helping us to nothing but excellence! It’s a thoughtfully curated class that gives you no time to think of breaks but motivates you to push and remember what you signed up for. At the end of the day when your hand baked products are arranged and presented, it just feels like you can do anything!! Not to forget, you will also end up making long lasting friends here! Do yourself a favor enrolling into their class and thank me later!

I had visited the Celesteyum academy recently, along with my wife Sudha, who completed a 1-day Breadmaking course. (Picture Attached).
As a lover of good healthy and tasty bread and baked items, I was keen to see their facilities.
I am highly impressed with the world class infrastructure that they have! Example: I could see, professional industrial level equipment including high end Ovens, large Dough Kneading machines, Large Fridges/Chillers as well as Croisant making machines, to name a few!
These are manned by experienced Chef/Teachers and assistants. Ms. Shoba and her team had a structured teaching program with theory and practical hands-on demonstrations.
They do have longer term professional classes which will be ideally suitable for women who want to join this profession or start their entrepreneurial journey.
I wish Celesteyum academy all the success they deserve! Warm regards.

I found the 2 days bread workshop to be a useful learning experience especially for someone who learnt what mistakes I have been making when learning from YouTube.
The workshop provided practical instruction on bread making as Amira's teaching was clear and easy to follow and she answered all my questions patiently and helped me clear up all the fundamnetals that is needed to be strong in foundations.
Her hand movements are amazing when shaping the bread and she is very quick help identify the correction and give valuable feedback. Thank you, Amira & the institution for organizing such an effective 6 breads in 2 days )
Look forward for more course in the future
