As an establishment that values a holistic approach to senior living, CedarbBrook offers opportunities for qualified individuals to grow professionally in a positive and collaborative setting. We are currently seeking a dynamic and skilled Pastry Cook to join our culinary team at the Bloomfield Hills community. This position involves working diligently to prepare and present high-quality desserts that meet the standards and expectations set forth by our Executive Chef. As a Pastry Cook at Cedarbrook Senior Living, you will play a vital role in enhancing the dining experience for our residents by creating delightful baked goods and confections from scratch in large volumes with precision and care. You will be responsible for all aspects of dessert preparation, including cooking, plating, and ensuring consistency in portion control and presentation. The role requires maintaining a clean and organized workstation, following sanitary practices, and adhering to safety guidelines established by local, state, and government authorities. You will also be expected to work cooperatively in a team environment and assist with additional kitchen responsibilities such as washing pots and pans or participating in daily lineup meetings. The ideal candidate must demonstrate strong communication skills, be self-motivated, and have a creative approach to problem-solving within the kitchen setting. This position is well suited for an individual who thrives under pressure and values teamwork while maintaining attention to detail and a high standard of quality in every dish produced. Experience in professional cooking and knife skills is important, as is prior dessert-making experience in high-volume environments. Preferred certifications such as Servsafe Food Handlers and Servsafe Michigan Allergen Certification would be beneficial but are not mandatory. Join our team at Cedarbrook Senior Living and contribute to a vibrant community where your culinary talents can make a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors. We offer competitive compensation and a supportive work environment where your skills will be valued and your career can flourish.
