An American Tradition Bites the Dust

Sorry to belatedly report that Dunwoody Baking School has closed its doors. I'm making inquiries as to the status of future class reunions...I'll keep you posted.

The National Baking Center at Dunwoody Institute in Minneapolis has closed its doors, possibly for good. The center, a kind of elite graduate school for bread and pastry makers, has trained more than 2,000 professionals from around the world since it opened in 1996. It also operated a popular Saturday series for baking hobbyists. The center was founded by Bread Bakers Guild of America and the Retailers Bakery Association, two trade groups.
