Hester General Store Baker (Full Time) Easley, SC · Full time

Hester General Store is looking for its next star baker!

Description

Do you enjoy making doughs from scratch? Are you obsessed with sprinkles and exotic fruits? Do you eat dessert every day (or... at least dream of that life)? If so, Hester General Store is looking for you!


Hester General Store is looking four our next star baker!


Our owner started this business with no culinary school experience; her experience was cultivated during "night school" thanks to a great cookbook collection + NYTimes Food subscription. Sound familiar? We are looking for those bakers who are passionate about their craft, who have baked pies with a new season's harvest, and who eat raw cookie dough. Period.


We are currently renovating our store and will begin baking for wholesale accounts in a DHEC-certified commissary kitchen located in Travelers Rest, SC. Later this year, you will be baking out of our facility in Dacusville (Easley), SC.


What Your Day Will Look Like

-Recipe testing. We test recipes. A lot.

-Prepping bulk crusts, fillings, sponges, batters, and doughs. We pride ourselves as a kitchen that prioritize local ingredients; therefore, it's ALL made from scratch!

-Baking pies, cakes, breads, and pastries.

-Packing and delivering orders.

-Cleaning up after yourself - we take cleanliness seriously and love a good clean up sesh.


Your Skillset

-You are a skilled baker. How do you define that? Well - that's what I want to hear.

-An ability to shape-shift; we are a food startup and change a WHOLE lot.

-An interest in growing your culinary career with an incredible brand.


Bonus points! - You've won a bakeoff! (I want to hear the story)
