Cake decorating is the foundation of this role, but you'll also help keep our product development kitchen running by preparing samples, maintaining records, organizing our product library, and supporting day-to-day projects.

It's a chance for us to see your decorating skills, get to know how you work, and make sure it's a good fit for everyone. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, we'd love to hear from you. Please send us your résumé along with a few photos of your decorating work or a portfolio.
