BAKE Principal, Shelby Kibler
Born in the U.P., raised in Michigan's agricultural heartland, Shelby early on thought he might be President of the United States. Luckily for him, studying History and English at U of M got him so excited he shed his dreams of politics and became a poet who donned aprons and experimented with breads and sweets at home. Shelby came to Zingerman's Bakehouse in 1997 and ended up managing the bread department till 2003, when he took a trek to California, and after four years there working at restaurants, slinging pizzas, butchering pigs and whatnot, he so utterly missed the Bakehouse that he bribed Amy and Frank to take him back, which they did, and as luck would have it he has become the Principal at BAKE!
| BAKE Instructor, Alejandro Ramon
Baking since the age of nine, Alejandro started baking for his family. Being the middle of nine kids, this was a good skill to have. In 1988 Alejandro started culinary school in Dallas, Texas and later became pastry chef at the Plaza San Antonio. There he received "Best of Dessert" in 1992 and 1993 from the San Antonio Express-News for his Caramel Pecan Tart and Raspberry Lemon Almond Tart, respectively. From 1995 to 2000 Alejandro was the owner of La Dolci Vita Bakery and Catering in San Antonio, Texas where he specialized in wedding cakes and also created an educational program. In 2003, Alejandro fulfilled his dream of building a traditional wood-burning oven. Stay tuned for upcoming classes utilizing this historical method.
Alejandro joined the Bakehouse in 2001. He is very excited to be in the role of teaching once again. He feels there is nothing more satisfying than learning to bake something that's good to eat and sharing it with friends and family.
