Lead sweets baker responsible for all morning pastry bakes. I am first to arrive at 5am, I open the kitchen, and get everything set up for the day. I make a note of what pastries are needed for the day, check for any special orders, some days include bulk orders for local businesses. All pastries, cookies, and treats get baked before bakery opens. After morning bakes I make sure we are well stocked with all fillings, icings, doughs, and ingredients listed. Using the rest of the morning to work on any special orders and bulk orders. I keep my work station clean as I go, including washing mine and other bakers dishes as needed. While not directly responsible for inventory I keep track of what bakers need and let managers know if we are running low, or going through supplies faster or slower than normal. I am able to read and understand recipes, I am also trained in helping the front counter whether it's working the register, making lunches, or making espresso/coffee drinks. Customer service is a priority. I follow all food safety rules and regulations, and have a current food handlers card.
