Bossy Buns

My name is Korine Adams...call me Korina!

I am a teacher by nature. 

I have a huge passion for the science & art of baking.

My mission is to create a baking school for kids. Everything I do in my career is a step towards that goal.

​

 I’ve been working in kitchens for over 25 years.  

I graduated from The French Pastry School in Chicago in 2008. My most recent position was Executive Pastry Chef at Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin, IL, where I built the dessert department & pastry team from scratch.

I am currently a Baking Instructor at Wilton School. 

I was born in Austin, Texas in 1981.  

The name BIDA comes from my childhood nickname, Bidda.  

​

Starting my own company had been a calling for years that continued to get louder as I grew in my career.  I started getting serious about BIDA late in 2017 & officially launched in 2018.  

My baking style is all about flavor, super simple, classic, & elegant with inspiration from French, American, & Latin flavors.  BIDA is vegetarian and vegan friendly.

​

Chefs who inspire me:

 Anthony Bourdain, Ina Garten, Rose Beranbaum, Christina Tosi, Stella Parks, Dorie Greenspan,    

Rick Bayless, & Mindy Segal. 

​

Favorite Desserts:

 Baklava, Strawberry Shortcake, & Tiramisu
