Looking for a team member that has some cake decorating experience.
It doesn't need to be experience building and decorating elaborate tiered cakes or anything - but putting together a single tier triple layer celebration cake, or frosting a hundred cupcakes in less than an hour should be within your comfort zone.

Being comfortable and confident performing a variety of tasks quickly is the essence of the job.
Training will be provided but we do need someone with decorating experience specifically for this position (even if it is basic piping and we get you moved up to more elaborate desserts within a few weeks of starting).
Pay is $18 per hour plus tips - so on a Saturday afternoon when we are at the market, the bakery is open, AND we are delivering a 200 guest wedding to Mount Vernon - the tips can definitely stack up! Must be able to lift up to 50lbs and be comfortable doing everything from breaking down boxes, throwing away trash and doing dishes - to answering the phone with a smile and finding solutions to people's inquiries while frosting several cakes to be picked up that day!

- Assisting in the finishing, decorating and packaging of various bakery items - Handling food in compliance with health and safety regulations - Providing excellent customer service by assisting customers with their bakery orders - Operating the Square POS system for order processing - Upselling bakery products to increase sales without being pushy or making people feel uncomfortable - Maintaining a clean and organized work environment in the bakery - In-person client orders, gathering important information for custom order requests - Answering the telephone in a polite, professional and welcoming attitude - being helpful and solution oriented while speaking with customers on the phone Skills The ideal candidate for this position should possess the following skills:
