Baker Jobs in Ballwin, MO

A Baker plays a crucial role in the culinary industry, specializing in the creation and production of a wide variety of breads, pastries, and other baked goods. Typically working in bakeries, restaurants, or hotels, they are responsible for mixing ingredients following recipes, shaping and forming dough, setting oven temperatures, and decorating and presenting baked goods attractively. They must also ensure the quality of the ingredients and maintain cleanliness and sanitation in their workstation. Bakers often work closely with chefs to design and develop new recipes.

Key skills for a Baker include attention to detail, creativity, physical stamina, and the ability to work independently or as part of a team. Excellent time management skills are also essential, as baking often involves tight schedules and precise timing. In terms of qualifications, although some bakers learn their trade through work experience, many employers prefer candidates with a diploma or degree in baking and pastry arts. Additionally, certification from a recognized culinary institution, such as the Retail Bakers of America, can enhance career prospects. Prior to becoming a Baker, a person may have roles such as a Bakery Assistant, where they assist in basic baking and cleaning tasks, a Pastry Cook, preparing pastries in a restaurant, or a Bread Baker Apprentice, learning the trade under a professional Baker.
