This March we were very proud to receive recognition for the standards of our bakery school.

It first came from the experts of French cuisine. This year “Good France – Goût de France” was launched: a world-wide campaign promoting French gastronomy, now world-famous heritage, in five different continents. As part of the campaign, SYB had the honor to be chosen to cater the bread for the dinner at the French Consul’s Residence in Shanghai on March 19^th, in the presence of 40 Chinese and French VIP guests.

Then, on March 10^th, our two bakery trainers, Wang Li and Zhang Zhenghai, took part into the well-known Louis Lesaffre Cup, which selects the candidates for the World Cup and takes place every four years around the world.

During the East & Central China competition, Wang Li showed her amazing work in the Art Piece category and Zhang Zhenghai won 1^st prize in the Baguette category, which qualified him to take part into the national competition! Wang Li and Zhang Zhenghai, as well as Xiao Jin Jin, the SYB pastry trainer are all three graduates from the 1^st batch of SYB students but also graduates from the prestigious bakery institution EFBPA, our partner school in France. Since then, they have been training 4 batches of SYB students and future professional bakers and continue improving their own skills by regularly working together with French master bakers.

It is thanks to their solid and growing experience in the bakery industry, that today we are able to open our first intensive course in French bakery! Due to being held over 4 days in April, this professional training program is tailored for aspiring bakers, chefs who would like to improve their skills, and people who wish to operate their own bakery shop. So if you would like to learn bakery from the specialists, while helping our charity program to empower more marginalized youth, contact us now!
