Baker
Bakers make bread, cakes and pastries, using flour and
other ingredients.
Bakers may perform the following tasks:
- check that equipment meets health and safety regulations
- check the quality of raw materials and weigh ingredients
- mix dough by hand or machine, then place in tins or
trays
- load tins or trays into ovens, keeping an eye on the
oven temperatures and the appearance of the bread (or the
cake or pastry)
- unload ovens when the bread is baked, take bread out of
trays and put aside to cool
- glaze or decorate cakes and pastries with icing or cream
- order baking supplies from wholesalers
- operate slicing and wrapping machines
- serve customers.
The increased use of machinery has reduced heavy work for
bakers. However, they still have to stand a lot of the time.
Most bakers work full time, and they often work late at night
or early in the morning. They may also work on weekends and
public holidays.
