Bakers - Main Bakers Bakers mix and bake ingredients to produce breads, pastries, and other baked goods.
Bakers measure and mix ingredients to prepare batters, doughs, fillings, and icings.
They roll, cut, and shape dough for breads and cookies. Bakers set oven temperatures and monitor items while they bake. For items such as cakes, bakers apply frostings or fillings. Wholesale production bakers usually focus on one phase of baking, such as mixing dough. In restaurants, institutions, and retail bakery shops, pastry chefs bake smaller quantities of bread, rolls, pies, and cakes.
