As a Bakery Cake Designer at Hy-Vee, you will play a vital role in the bakery department by contributing your artistic talents and customer service skills to create and decorate bakery items that meet the highest standards of quality and creativity. This non-exempt role is focused not only on the technical aspects of decorating cakes and other bakery products but also on providing exceptional service to customers both in-store and over the phone. The position requires teamwork, attention to detail, customer interaction, and adherence to sanitation and safety standards.

As a bakery professional, you will be responsible for assisting customers in selecting and customizing their bakery orders, from simple cakes to elaborate wedding cakes and specialty items. Your ability to communicate clearly, provide timely and efficient service, and manage multiple tasks throughout the day will be integral to your success in this role. Hy-Vee fosters a positive work environment by encouraging a growth mindset, professionalism, and a customer-focused approach.

Working at Hy-Vee as a Bakery Cake Designer also means adhering to company policies, safety regulations, and ensuring cleanliness within your work area. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with coworkers and managers to meet company goals, support cross-training efforts, and continuously improve your skillset by keeping current with new cake designs and trends. The ability to handle physical demands, such as lifting and moving bakery items, and the willingness to occasionally deliver and set up cakes off-site will ensure that you provide a comprehensive service to customers.

This position offers the satisfaction of shaping memorable moments for customers by delivering beautifully designed and delicious bakery products. Hy-Vee’s inclusive and supportive culture invites applicants who are ready to bring their talents and positive attitudes to a community-focused company committed to growth and excellence.
