Do you need special schooling to be a baker? Is there a certain steps you take to be a star baker?

Question

Some bakers get their training on the job working with trained bakers. There is professional training available.

I'm sure many bakers learn on the job as apprentices to professional bakers. But, taking classes in culinary arts, especially baking and pastry making gives people a firm background in this art and makes them more employable. Check this site.
