• Follow established recipes while maintaining consistency in taste, quality, and appearance.
• Complete production efficiently to meet daily demands and deadlines.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and sanitary workstation.

• Must be reliable, punctual, and able to work as part of a team.

The ideal candidate understands the entire cake production process, from preparing fillings and creams to assembling, decorating, and finishing cakes for display and customer orders.

We value speed, cleanliness, consistency, creativity, and attention to detail.
