Omnia

I started studying at Omnia Vocational School on August 2017. My goal is to graduate as a baker and a pastry chef in December 2018.

Even though I have not studied for a long time yet, I’ve learnt a lot. I strive to learn techniques from the very beginning and understand the processes that are used to create the final product. School is a perfect place for that.

I’ve learnt a lot about baking bread, different kinds of buns and making cakes.

On bread class I baked various different types of breads such as whole wheat bread, baguettes, ciabattas and rye bread. During the bread class I got especially interested in baking sourdough bread. I find this naturally leavened bread type very fascinating. I ended up making my own sourdough starters from a scratch and kept on baking sourdough bread at home as well. My interest led me to work placement at sourdough bakery called Levain.

At school I’ve also gained more knowledge on making cakes. On cake class I learnt a lot of new techniques and got many useful tips. I baked many different types of cakes for example cream cakes, fruit cakes, chocolate cakes covered with ganache and fondant cakes.

I really enjoy studying at Omnia.
