Being a baker involves making and decorating delicious goods! Whether it’s sweet treats or warm bread, bakers work around the clock to put their goods on the table. Bakers must be good at working under pressure to meet deadlines and provide the highest quality food to clients.

A baker’s typical day starts early in the morning to make goods that will be fresh when customers buy them. Throughout the day, they work a lot with their hands, whether it's kneading dough or frosting a cake, there are a lot of lengthy tasks that can be tedious to complete. Although a baker’s station can sometimes be full of different ingredients, they clean and sanitize their work-station frequently to keep up with sanitation guidelines.

Being a baker is a very creative career. Whether it’s testing a new recipe or decorating a dessert, baking is a great creative outlet! Bakers directly impact the enjoyment and experience of their customers: at the end of the day no event is complete without cake!

On the other hand, some of the cons of being a worker include lower pay compared to other trades and early work hours (many of which are spent standing up). Additionally, baking can be stressful as they often work against strict deadlines and many put great detail in their work.
