One of the best institute for egg free baking. I did my diploma and it was amazing. I felt 2 months was less to learn baking and to get a diploma certificate. But they covered everything, from breads to wedding cakes. Got a lot of theory knowledge about baking. Lots of practice was given during the practical classes.Our mentor was the most patient and friendly one.
