International baking masters invited to teach top-notch baking expertise



Chef Siew Cake Art & Culinary Sdn Bhd is the first academy in Malaysia to invite world-class baking masters to teach on a contractual basis!

In order to keep up with the pace of international baking, the academy holds a ‘special course’ every year, where international baking masters are invited to come and give students wonderful thematic lectures and demonstrations so that the latter can master solid baking expertise and stay connected to international baking.

For example, in 2019, CSCA had the honor of inviting Chef Tsao Chih Hsiung, the World Bread Champion from Taiwan, to teach and share his experience personally. This 3-day course focused on teaching 15 popular bread recipes in Taiwan, including fruit milky bread, pineapple bread, scallion bread, and more..

We were deeply honored to get Chef Koichi Izumi, a famous Japanese master, to conduct a special course on world-class bakery such as French desserts, Japanese cake, sugar craft etc., for a few days.

The two international baking masters came to our academy to deliver special theme teaching, which benefited both the teachers and students. Their baking expertise was not available in other schools. In the future, we will also invite famous baking companies worldwide to offer special lectures to enable students to pick up the best baking skills.
