Baker

Frost Bake Shop is a local and family-owned business that started in 2004 by the Kloos family. Frost opened its first retail location in 2013. As of 2022, we have three retail locations in the greater Memphis area. We specialize in cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies, and cheesecakes. We also make customized desserts for weddings, birthdays, and other celebrations. We believe in being open every day, having every menu item every day of the week, and having something taste as good as it looks!

Job Title: Baker

Location: Bartlett Production Facility

Schedule: Full-Time

The Role

We are looking for a disciplined, detail-oriented baker to work with the production team on our full dessert line. This isn't just a job for someone who likes to bake at home; we need a professional who thrives on the "science" of baking-where precision, timing, and consistency are everything. From the first mix to the final bake, you will ensure every item that leaves our kitchen is perfect.

Essential Responsibilities

• Precision Baking: Execute all recipes at 100% accuracy. We don't "eyeball" ingredients; we follow proven processes to ensure the same high quality every day.
• Mixing & Production: Master the use of industrial mixers and large-scale ovens to produce our cookies, cakes, and specialty desserts.
• Daily Preparation: Manage the "Mise en Place"-scaling, weighing, and measuring ingredients with surgical precision.
• Finishing Work: Frost and decorate our signature cakes and cupcakes, and scoop cookie dough with high efficiency.
• Kitchen Pace: Work with a true sense of urgency to meet production deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Maintenance: Keep a pristine workspace and assist in the deep-cleaning and organization of the bakery.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: Minimum of 1 year of commercial kitchen experience (required).
• Education: High school diploma or GED.
• Technical Skill: Proven ability to follow complex recipes and operate commercial-grade kitchen equipment safely.
• Stamina: This is a physical role. You must be able to stand for long shifts and frequently lift/move up to 50 lbs.
• Availability: Must be able to work long hours and frequent weekends to keep up with our busiest times.

The Ideal Candidate

You are methodical. You enjoy the logic and order of a professional kitchen. You are reliable. You understand that the team depends on you to get the bake started on time. You are detail-obsessed. You notice when a temp is off by a few degrees or a weight is off by a few grams. You are collaborative. You maintain positive, productive relationships even during high-volume rushes.

Working Conditions

You'll work in a climate-controlled retail bakery, though you will occasionally need to step into our 0-degree walk-in (don't worry, we provide the gear). You should be comfortable with bending, kneeling, and climbing as needed to keep the kitchen running.
