Success Stories
"I didn’t have to think twice when enrollment for CCA Manila opened up. The recipes they give are flawless and the end result is always outrageously good. The CCA Library has been extremely helpful as well, extending the books I need immediately after I seek it out."
"Joined their online weekly baking class last August. Despite not being in a traditional classroom set up, the admin and Chef Dahlia were quick to respond and help out. Had a fun time learning new recipes and meeting other people who are also interested in baking."
"Thank you, CCA for making this online baking class possible, even though I am thousands of miles away and there’s a time difference. I was able to have this connection with my fellow bakers, have fun in the process, and enjoyed this class."
"For someone who doesn’t have any knowledge in baking, I find this program very helpful. Chef Dahlia was nothing but helpful and very generous in sharing her expertise with us. She makes sure to check on every one of us and assess if we are able to follow her instructions."
"Joining your community has been enriching and empowering! It was so fun to belong in a group with the same interest as we inspire and learn more together as a family, to serve good food that is both healthy, delicious and enticing. Cheers!"
"Learning is never ending and ever expanding. While we have access to everything on the internet, it is still very helpful to consult a chef real time and have an enriching discussion about the successes and failures of each bake. Aside from the recipes, connecting with fellow bakers in different parts of the country as well as other countries is also another bonus."
"I am a Doctor by Profession and baking is really my passion. I did not expect that I will be able to take some time during this pandemic to unleash my baking skill. Accomplishing baking club sessions despite of being busy in the field, meeting fellow aspiring bakers, and getting to know CCA Chef Instructor, Ms. Dahlia, are such a wonderful experience!"
To gain professional knowledge in baking, learn techniques, what to prevent and how to troubleshoot. In this way I will be cost efficient when I pursue my culinary dreams.
"I recommend this program to baking enthusiasts and people who are planning to start their pastry business. It’s a great program where you can learn the basics of baking for personal use or for start-up businesses as well. My advice is to attend every session, listen well, take notes, don’t hesitate to ask questions and most especially, have fun!"
"I love everything about CCA. They’re all accommodating and friendly even when we already graduated. It feels like we are a family even though we cant see each other at the moment because of the pandemic we built a connection through online and I've never experienced it before with my previous school/university."
