Baker

Uppercrust, Gainesville’s community artisan bakery since 1981 seeks three bakers! Please read to the bottom if you are interested in applying. These position assumes no professional/commercial baking experience, and can be part or full time. We're heading into the busy season, and we are looking to train three new team members to be ready to rock at the end of September. You will be trained by kitchen shift leads and managers or trusted team members who work the station daily. The positions are in prep, pastry, and bread. They are separate positions. They will depend on our existing team’s cross training interests and yours. Prep is responsible for preparing doughs, fillings, and toppings for our croissant, bistro, and pastry stations. Pastry is responsible for tartelette, cake, macaron and eclair prep, and could be trained on pastry production once the baker has proven autonomy on pastry prep. Bread is responsible for mixing, proofing, and shaping bread. Disclaimer: this is physical work, with early hours. It's fun to work at our bakery! But it's also hard.
