Our Story
About Bake Way
Cake Academy
A professional baking school in the heart of Kurunegala, founded on the belief that baking is both a craft and a joy — and everyone deserves to master it.
Our Mission
Turning Passion Into Profession
Bake Way Cake Academy was born from a simple idea: professional baking education should be accessible, practical, and inspiring. We started as Bake Way Cake House — creating cakes for celebrations across Kurunegala — and grew into a full teaching academy.
Today, our students leave with real skills, a certificate they're proud of, and the confidence to bake for their families, start a home business, or pursue professional opportunities in the culinary industry.
We cover everything from the very first butter cake to advanced fondant sculpting, wedding cake structures, and 3D decorative toppers — all taught step by step in a welcoming classroom environment.
