* Excellent attention to detail and a neat, precise working style
* Ability to work efficiently and accurately under pressure
* A positive team player with good communication skills
* Flexibility with working hours – especially availability on weekends
* Previous cake decorating or bakery experience is desirable (but not essential – training provided)
Benefits
