Our teachers are a diverse group ranging from home bakers to professionally trained pastry chefs. We are all united in our desire to teach and help people gain confidence in their baking skills.
A graduate of SAIT Polytechnic’s Baking and Pastry Arts program, Class of 2016, Xyleera has been baking for as long as she can remember. Many of her fondest baking memories were made alongside her late Granny and Aunt Shannon, who helped inspire her love of baking and creating. Outside of Duchess, she enjoys sewing, crafting, creating, and baking with her four-year-old daughter. Their family also includes Sven, an orange cat with plenty of personality! In the summer, she loves camping and spending time outdoors, while winter is the perfect season for hiking and snowboarding.
