This position focuses on the creation of dream wedding cakes and desserts, providing hands-on involvement in the baking, decorating, and presentation of products that become centerpieces at special celebrations. The ideal candidate is not only skilled and professional but also self-motivated, adaptable, and eager to learn within a dynamic, often fast-paced working environment. As this is a part-time role, scheduling fluctuates with the wedding season’s ebb and flow; during peak times, the workload increases, requiring weekend availability, especially for deliveries.

Regular bakery hours operate from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and candidates must be ready to work when called upon with a clean driving record, able to transport goods and lift up to 50 pounds.

Candidates applying for this role must submit a portfolio showcasing previous cake decorating work, underscoring their artistic capabilities and professional experience. Walters Wedding Estates values team players with strong communication skills, who take ownership of their roles and demonstrate a keen attention to detail. The ability to adapt to the specific needs of each client while maintaining high standards is essential. The role requires familiarity with various cake decoration techniques such as stone, horizontal, stucco, wedding dots, and palette textures, along with expertise in using food coloring, fondant, edible images, and overall cake design principles. The physical demands of the position include standing for extended periods and lifting heavy items, which are typical in a busy bakery setting. Moreover, candidates must be eligible to work in the United States, pass a background check, and have reliable transportation with a valid driver's license, aligning with Walters Hospitality’s compliance with E-Verify. This position offers an enriching platform for those dedicated to the culinary arts and looking to contribute creatively to one of Atlanta’s most reputable wedding venues.
