About The Baking Academy of Ireland :

The Baking Academy of Ireland was established by Master Baker Derek O’Brien. Derek was previously Head of the National Bakery School, Dublin Institute of Technology, Kevin Street, Dublin 8. During his time with the DIT he introduced and managed the hugely popular part time Professional Baking courses. He is the team manager of the Irish National Baking Team that has been so successful in European baking competitions. Recently he was appointed by the International Baking Academy in Germany, as Head of the English language Diploma in German Baking programme.

Derek and his team are aware that the consumer is becoming tired and bored with modern bland tasting sliced bread, synthetic flavoured boxed cakes and chocolates and products with “it never stales” shelf life and endless lists of ingredients.

Tutors and visiting lecturers:
Our tutors are specialists in the field of baking, confectionery, chocolate and sugar craft. Each has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the art and craft of artisan techniques. They are uniquely experienced and enthusiastic bakers, confectioners and chocolatiers who will guide and inspire both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts alike.
