Helping Bakers Build
Businesses with Confidence
Bake to CEO Academy was created with one mission in mind: to help bakers turn their passion into a profitable and sustainable business. We believe that baking is more than creating beautiful desserts — it is about building confidence, creating opportunities, and establishing a business that can change lives.
Through masterclasses, business resources, workbooks, mentorship, and community, Bake to CEO Academy helps bakers learn the skills needed to grow successfully. From pricing and branding to marketing and business strategy, our goal is to equip bakers with the tools they need to move from hobby baker to confident CEO.
Whether you are just starting your journey or looking to scale your bakery business, Bake to CEO Academy is here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Meet April
April Anderson
Founder
Originally from Detroit, Michigan, April Anderson earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Spelman College and later received her MBA from the University of Michigan. Although she built a strong business background, April knew from the age of 9 that her true passion was baking.
In 2008, she started her home based baking business and later studied Pastry Arts at Macomb Community College, where she trained in pastry techniques, artisan breads, French pastries, and recipe development.
In 2013, April and Michelle opened their first bakery in Detroit on the historic Avenue of Fashion. Since then, April has received national recognition, including baking for Oprah Winfrey, participating on a CGI America panel alongside former President Bill Clinton, and serving as a Pastry Chef for the 2018 James Beard Media Awards in New York City.
Through Bake to CEO Academy, April’s mission is to help bakers establish and grow successful bakery businesses by teaching them how to build strong brands, increase sales, and confidently step into the role of CEO.
