Sweet Buns & Dessert Rolls
This module takes you into the world of sweet buns. The kind that fill bakeries with irresistible aromas and draw customers back again and again.

Finally, you’ll learn the practical side of turning sweet buns into a business by calculating their costs and pricing them for profit. By the end of this module, you’ll not only master the techniques behind popular sweet buns but also know how to make them appealing products to sell or share.

Savory & Stuffed Buns
You’ll also discover how to balance flavors and textures inside a bun so fillings don’t overwhelm the bread. Finally, you’ll learn about packaging strategies for savory buns, making them practical to sell in cafés, events, or catering orders. By the end of this module, you’ll have mastered recipes that go beyond sweetness, giving you products that can fit into any menu, from daily meals to event platters, while also expanding your business opportunities. This module explores the savory side of bun baking, rolls and stuffed breads that are as versatile as they are satisfying. You’ll start with simple yet flavorful recipes like cheese and herb rolls, garlic knots, and pull-apart buns that work well as snacks or café items. Then you’ll learn how to make hearty stuffed buns, filled with meats, vegetables, or vegan alternatives that appeal to health-conscious customers.

Global Fusion Buns
This module takes you beyond traditional sweet and savory recipes into the world of international bun traditions and fusion creations. You’ll discover how different cultures have adapted buns into their cuisines, and how you can use those influences to create your own unique products. We’ll begin with Asian steamed buns, such as bao, curry buns, and the fun, dessert-like Japanese melon pan. Then we’ll move to the Mediterranean, where olive, za’atar, and cheese buns bring bold flavors rooted in local traditions. You’ll also learn how to bake gourmet burger and sandwich buns that elevate simple meals into restaurant-quality dishes.

Bun Business & Branding
This module shifts focus from baking to business. You’ll learn how to transform your bun-making skills into a profitable venture by setting up a home bakery or small-scale operation. We’ll begin with the practical side of sourcing, costing, and scaling, making sure you understand how to manage expenses and keep profits sustainable. You’ll then explore different sales channels: direct orders from friends and family, supplying buns to cafés, partnering with delivery apps, and even starting your own online shop. Alongside selling, branding is what makes your buns memorable. You’ll discover how to create packaging that reflects quality, choose product names that resonate with customers, and tell the story behind your buns to build a stronger brand identity. Finally, we’ll dive into marketing strategies, from social media promotions to pop-up stalls and event-based sales, showing you how to get your buns noticed in a competitive market. By the end of this module, you’ll not only know how to bake delicious buns, you’ll know how to sell, package, and market them like a professional brand.

Scaling & Professional Growth
By this stage, you’ve mastered bun recipes and learned how to set up, brand, and sell your products. This module focuses on what comes next, growing beyond small-batch baking into a professional venture. You’ll begin by exploring freelance opportunities, such as working as a baker-for-hire at events, workshops, or pop-ups. Then we’ll dive into how to host tastings and baking workshops, which not only generate income but also establish you as an authority in the baking community. We’ll cover what it takes to set up your own café, bakery, or food cart, including equipment, licenses, and staffing. You’ll also learn about team management and time efficiency, which are crucial as orders increase and you transition from solo baking to leading a small business.
