Crust & Crumb Academy vs the skool CLASSIFIEDS

Best bread baking community ever!

This is a very friendly, growing, supportive community of bakers who love to learn to bake great bread in all it's forms. We are all in the academy to learn and and support each other while we share our success and our failures as well. There are so many things about this academy that make it successful. First is Henry Hunter who's dream is to share his knowledge of baking bread with those enthusiastic about learning through success as well as...well sometimes learning through failure. The academy offers so many educational opportunities through its videos and classes that are open to all who want to participate and...they are all free. They are not only full of information but also include how-to videos and many practical tips to make our bakes successful. Each week there is an opportunity to bake together. Henry provides a recipe for those who bake with commercial yeast as well as for those who bake with sourdough starter. The community logs on and we all bake together, sharing pictures and comments that encourage and support each other....even our failed bakes. All weeks have teaching incentives towards the next week's bake so that we all can progress in our learning while Henry monitors and is available to answer any questions. In addition, there is a large recipe pantry available that walks anyone through each step of the baking process for each recipe, including "Krusty". Click on the icon and you can literally ask any question throughout the process and get your question answered in real time. What could be better? There are both experienced as well as new bread bakers in the group and many have become friends along the way. If you are interested in learning how, or just love baking bread, this is the absolute best group to join. I know that I am a much better bread baker because of this group.

This Community is Amazing!

I am so glad I was invited into the Crust & Crumb Academy. This community is amazing. I felt at home as soon as I walked through the door. It’s like a big, supportive family. Henry, the content creator is so knowledgeable and attentive. The community includes beginners all the way to very experienced home bakers. The best part is when we all come together for our Saturday bake off. We follow the same recipe but add our own personal twists if desired. A live thread runs throughout the day where we can ask questions, troubleshoot, share encouragement, successes and failures. It such a rewarding day! I have learned so much in barely a month of joining.Never had I imagined such a thing even existed but I’m so glad to be a part of this great big family of learning bakers!

I LOVE THIS GROUP

I love this group. Henry is always available to pose questions, offer tips for baking and teaching new skills and tips. The community is interactive which makes it nice to show up because there is feedback for your bakes, cheers for your successes and just all around great people. For every level I think. I'm self-taught gluten-free baking and I feel there is so much for me to learn here. Thank you Henry!

Modern Day, Newspaper, where you’re the Headlines.

The Classifieds feels like the modern day newspaper, but the headline is you. It gives serious Skool owners a clear, public space to share what’s in their heart without feeling pushy or spammy. The structure keeps it organized, the culture keeps it supportive, and the visibility makes it powerful. What stands out most is Shannon’s thoughtful leadership. You can feel the care in how intentionally this space is run. It’s encouraging, well-structured, and built on mutual growth.

February Frenzy...so much fun!

I loved this CLASSIFIEDS event. There was alot of activity, engagement and insight during this 24hours. It was a great concentrated way to learn about what other community owners are doing, a great way to get some concentrated exposure and potential customers! I would recommend this type of event in all communities. The 24hour deadline really creates urgency and excitement!

Hidden gem for Skool community owners

As someone who's been building my community on Skool for a few months now, I was excited to find a community like this, that allows promotion of your Skool. It's such a simple concept, having a dedicated space to showcase what you've built, to people who are already looking, makes such a difference. If you're a community owner wondering how to get more eyes on your work, this community allows you to shine. Very generous offering.
