Baker

Inge Bruneel

Not only do I love to bake, but I also have a deep curiosity about the science behind each step in the baking process. Many of us have experienced the frustration of starting a baking project, gathering all the ingredients, meticulously following the instructions, and still ending up with a result that looks nothing like the picture. It can be disheartening, and I completely understand that feeling. Far too often people give up. I can't tell you how many times people have told me: "I can cook, but I can’t bake!”

I’m here to tell you that you absolutely CAN bake! My goal is to help you build confidence in your baking skills—not only by guiding you through each step of a recipe but also by explaining the reasoning behind those steps. Understanding the ‘why’ behind the process can transform your baking experience from a series of frustrating attempts into a rewarding and enjoyable journey. You have the potential to become a confident and skilled baker, and I’m excited to be part of your journey!


Short Bio
I am Inge Bruneel. As my name suggests, I wasn’t born in the United States; in fact, I lived in Belgium for the first 33 years of my life. It’s where I grew up, got married, started a family, and developed my first love for baking. Shortly before moving to the United States in 2017, I attended bakery school. However, it wasn’t until I found myself in a Michigan supermarket, staring at the loaves of bread, that my need to bake often truly emerged.

No longer having access to a bakery around every corner anymore, I went on a mission to recreate as much patisserie, viennoiserie, and bread from home as I possibly could. It didn’t take long before I began selling my baked goods to the community, and eventually, I started teaching others the skills I had brought with me from Belgium and learned on my own. I soon discovered that I loved teaching even more than selling!

And so here we are—I can’t wait to share my knowledge with all of you!
