As a part of a respected hospitality group, the company prides itself on maintaining a fun, fast-paced, and creative working environment where team members are encouraged to grow and showcase their passion for the culinary arts.

This position is for a part-time Bakery Assistant/Cake Decorator, offering an hourly wage between $15 and $18. Given the dynamic nature of the wedding industry, the work schedule is flexible and based on demand, which fluctuates with the wedding season's busyness. While this might mean some weeks with minimal or no hours, it also offers the opportunity to engage deeply during peak seasons. The standard bakery operating hours run from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm, requiring weekend availability for delivery purposes. This role demands a candidate who can adapt quickly, possesses a strong work ethic, and is detail-oriented.

The Bakery Assistant/Cake Decorator role at Walters Wedding Estates involves more than just creating cakes. It’s about crafting personalized wedding experiences through innovative designs and meticulous attention to detail. The successful candidate will have a solid foundation in cake decorating, including knowledge of various textures like stone, horizontal, stucco, wedding dots, and palette. They will also understand and skillfully use food coloring, fondant, edible images, and modern cake design techniques. This role calls for both creativity and precision, as the cakes serve as focal points at weddings, symbolizing the special moments in a couple’s life.

Ideal candidates are self-motivated professionals who take extreme ownership of their responsibilities. They thrive in a collaborative setting, communicate effectively with their team, and demonstrate adaptability to meet the unique needs of each client. A passion for the culinary arts is essential, as is the physical stamina to stand for extended periods and the ability to lift up to 50 pounds when necessary. Candidates must also possess a clean driving record, a valid driver’s license, and reliable transportation, as weekend deliveries are part of the job.

Walters Wedding Estates participates in E-Verify to ensure all employees are eligible to work in the United States. Applicants must be prepared to submit to and pass a complete background check as part of the hiring process. This part-time role offers a fulfilling opportunity for culinary enthusiasts to contribute to memorable celebrations, expand their professional skills, and be part of a passionate hospitality team dedicated to quality and client satisfaction.
