Baker

Plate of Cake is a premium dessert brand known for our tres leches (five flavors, each with its own flavor-matched milk soak), tiramisu, fresh crepes, cookies, and specialty cakes. We're looking for a skilled, reliable Pastry Cook to run our morning prep and production — getting every dessert baked, assembled, portioned, and beautifully displayed before we open at 11:00 AM. This is a hands-on, largely independent morning role. You'll be the person who sets the day up for success: baking fresh, preparing our signature desserts to a high standard, and keeping the line and display fully stocked. If you take pride in consistency, presentation, and quality — and you like the idea of helping take a growing dessert concept to the next level — we'd love to meet you.
