Summer Cake Fairies
Responsibilities:
The Cakery on First is seeking what we’re calling Summer Cake Fairies to serve as helping hands in all of the multifaceted needs of a growing baking business. This person will be able to effectively flit between a multitude of tasks as needed from washing dishes to prepping frostings and fillings to staffing our new cupcake cart and everything in between. You’ll enjoy this role if you love a dynamic and creative work environment, are quick to learn new tasks, and are not afraid of asking questions or taking direction. Must be comfortable working in the close quarters of the commercial kitchen as well as in a public-facing sales setting. Prior restaurant and/or customer service experience is strongly preferred but not required.
Hours:
Part time, flexible from May/June to September/October.
Pay:
$12.00 hourly, up to 15 hours a week.
Of Note:
Competency and confidence in on-the-spot change counting necessary. Nights are not required with this role and weekends would be exceptionally rare. Reliable transportation is a must and because we’re feeding the public, you must be up for completing the Idaho Food Safety Training & Exam (it’s short and totally free).
Dishwasher/prep baker
Responsibilities:
The Cakery on First is seeking a dishwasher/prep baker and we’re not gonna lie, we go through a lot of dishes. Keeping them flowing allows us to bake as much as possible and as such, this position is the backbone of our production capacity. This role is split 60/40 between dishwashing responsibilities and bakery prep tasks so a love for baking is necessary and some experience (even if just as a hobby) is preferred. Must be comfortable working in the close quarters of the commercial kitchen, able to stand for up to four hours, and able to safely lift up to 40 lbs.
Hours:
Part time, flexible from May/June to September/October.
Pay:
$13.00 hourly, up to 12 hours a week.
Of Note:
Nights and weekends not required for this position. A reliable form of transportation is a must, though. Because you will be involved in preparing food for the public, you must be up for completing the Idaho Food Safety Training & Exam (it’s short and totally free).
