Donut worrybe happy! If you're weary of those overnight baking hours and have commercial baking experience, our angels are on the prowl for a full time baker to start their days at 5am instead of rolling out of the bed in the middle of the night.
Angel Food Bakery + Coffee Bar is a sparkling St. Louis Park gem with fabulous donuts, breakfast pastries, cookies and cupcakes. Our growth has been amazing, and as we head into our super-busy season, we're on the lookout for a baker who wants to be a part of a business that even the Food Network and Martha Stewart Living have already noticed. Yup, our founder even tried to beat Bobby Flay (no luck there, but Katy got her mojo back when she took the top $10,000 prize at the Cooking Channel's National Donut Showdown).
We are a small collective of passionate people with a penchant for perfection and we’re looking to add another star to our hard-working but fun loving team. Our ideal match would be someone that is stoked on baking, but rather than being in a dingy back room hidden from the world, prefers to work in a lively "open kitchen" environment with awesome customers and happy, drama-free colleagues. Folks constantly pop their heads in to say "LOVE your music; great vibe!"
We believe in top quality scratch bakinganyone can throw together a cake or donuts, but our customers are always amazed at our commitment to using fresh fruit fillings and other divine ingredients that produce instant ooohs and ahhhs. If these things resonate with you, then we'd love to have a conversation about how Angel Food Bakery might fit in with your life. Here's a bit more about what would make a good fit:
PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE. You gotta have it. You gotta want more of it. Our customer base trusts us to be experts and put p-u-r-r-f-e-c-t-l-y baked goodies in their paws. Hey, that's not a typowe’re also ridiculous cat people, but sadly are forced to leave them at home while we work. That doesn’t stop us from dreaming about opening a Cat Cafe someday.
THE ABILITY TO WORK IN A FAST-PACED ENVIRONMENT SELF-SUFFICIENTLY. We all need to take on many tasks from start to finish. Seeing a production list through, knowing when to ask for help, and understanding the importance of multi-tasking (rather than staring at an oven while cookies bake) are very important attributes in our ideal hire.
BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF BAKING: We can always learn more, but do you know how to operate a 60-qt mixer? Do you know why it's critical to weigh ingredients vs eyeballing it? Do you "get" rotating stock? Being able to rock a recipe is very important. But if you don't, are you a quick learner?
PROFESSIONALISM: Leave the drama at home; we're professionals who bake. And laugh. We also have thick skin, because for all of us, there are days we ef up a recipe and have to do it again. Each bakery in the world has its own way of doing things, so we need you to accept professional criticism without taking it personally.
Us: "Hey, the salt seems to be missing from this batch.
You: "Argh! OK, got it!"
See? Simple stuff like that makes our work life easier.
PITCHING IN: We bake. We clean up after ourselves. We fry donuts. We sweep and mop and do dishes to keep our kitchen shiny and clean because we love our gorgeous light-filled bakery. “Many hands make light work”ie., everyone pitches in. #BakeryLife #HardWorkButStillFun
INTEGRITY AND MATURITY:
We need you here on time, every time. It sucks to have a production list and have someone consistently miss their scheduled hours. 'nuf said, righhhht? And won't it be lovely to work in a DRAMA FREE place?
SCHEDULE:
We’re looking for a FULL TIME rock star with 35-40 hours/week availability for this permanent, year round position. Hours are approx 5am to 1pm but if that doesn't work, let's talk. We do need you at least one weekend day, and will work together with you to come up with a flexible schedule that keeps everything humming smoothly while respecting your preferred days off.
STILL READING? We invest so much genuine effort with new colleagues, it breaks our heart to lose someone after just a few months. So if you're just skipping through jobs, juggling school classes, or if your life's in a limbo and you're figuring things out, this won't be a good fit. IF, however, you're currently working somewhere and would rather be part of a sassy, beautiful, busy, thriving bakery, stop waiting in the wings and contact us ASAP. Just reply to this ad (and include a quick note about yourself as well as your work history). All inquiries will be held in strictest confidence.take a peek at our website (AngelFoodMN.com) and get ready to fly!
