They play a pivotal role in bakeries, patisseries, and restaurants by crafting visually stunning and delectable cakes. Their job involves applying icing, chocolate, and other confectionery delights onto cakes in diverse designs and patterns, creating both classic and custom cake designs.

Skills such as cake sculpting, piping, and working with different types of icing like fondant or buttercream are essential for a Cake Finisher.
