• Prepare additional cake inventory for holidays, weekends, promotions, and other high-volume periods.
• Minimize waste through proper production planning, inventory rotation, and product handling.
• Communicate professionally with customers regarding cake designs, availability, pickup times, and special requests.
• Work cooperatively with store management and team members.
• Assist with other store duties when necessary.

Work Experience

• Previous cake decorating, bakery, pastry, food preparation, or restaurant experience is preferred.
• One year or more of cake decorating experience is a plus, but we are willing to consider motivated candidates with strong artistic ability and a willingness to learn.
• Experience managing inventory, production, or customer orders is beneficial.
• Baskin-Robbins or similar ice cream cake decorating experience is a plus but is not required.

Education

• Good hand-eye coordination and decorating ability.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills.
• Ability to prioritize multiple cake orders and meet deadlines.
