Switching career to baker in the UK?

I've become massively disillusioned with the IT job market and lately I've been considering switching careers and looking into how I could get into baking.

Right now, my only baking experience ishome baking, but it is something that I'm genuinely passionate about and do love.

Are there any bakers here that could offer any insight as to the best way of starting this transition?

In my head I would love to just be making cakes and bread at a semi small bakery… But I have a feeling that's probably just unrealistic!

I love making bread, but I think patisserie is probably where I'm more interested.... are there any courses or schools that would be suitable for someone like me, a newbie who's not in their 20s anymore 😅

Appreciate any advice and input from any bakers out there!

I started my transition in Norway and I'm going to be moving back to the UK soon I think. I asked the Norwegian healthcare about the transitioning and they told me it would take one year minimum with regular assessments.

If I move back to the UK, I'm not even sure if my transition will be recognised? So does that mean I could technically be prescribed testosterone easier?

I've been on hormones for about six years and had an orchi.

I'm also looking to get my chest reduced if possible too... would that be treated as gyno?

Thanks for any advice
