Backschule Charlotte

The Charlotte Baking School near Charlottenburg Palace is unique in Germany with its wide range of courses. During Advent, the focus is clearly on Christmas baking! In the ‘Christmas Pastries’ course, cookies, cinnamon stars, and Bethmännchen are baked. A separate course is dedicated to Stollen. Here, you learn how to make butter, marzipan, and poppy seed stollen. A dedicated course in Advent is also devoted to the sweet temptation of Petits Fours. At the baking school, you even learn how to bake your own Advent calendar or Advent wreath!

Baking enthusiasts learn in small, individual groups, gaining insights into the skills of a confectioner. Boss Beate Schulz knows exactly what she’s doing, having worked as a professional confectioner in the patisserie of Hotel Berlin and for 10 years at Lenôtre in KaDeWe. She teaches her students how to create perfect cakes, offers baking courses for children during school holidays, conducts career orientation courses, and prepares confectionery apprentices both practically and theoretically for their exams. The baking school’s courses are therefore – depending on the offering – aimed at interested amateurs and professionals.

The baking school’s courses can also be booked as a Christmas party or corporate event for 4 to 16 participants.
