Specialty Dessert Baker

Bringing Bloom's pastry case to life before the sun comes up.

Every morning at Bloom begins long before our doors open.

While most of Madison is still asleep, our Specialty Dessert Team is already hard at work, filling the pastry case with cakes, doughnuts, cookies, bars, scones, biscuits, and specialty desserts that become part of birthdays, celebrations, coffee breaks, and everyday moments of joy.

We're looking for an Early Morning Specialty Dessert Baker to join this talented team.

This role is perfect for someone who loves the quiet rhythm of early mornings and finds joy in creating beautiful things by hand. You'll work alongside a group of passionate pastry professionals, baking and finishing the desserts our guests look forward to each day.

Your craftsmanship brings Bloom's pastry case to life each morning. From specialty cakes and doughnuts to cookies, bars, scones, biscuits, and allergen-friendly desserts, you'll create products that reflect the care, consistency, and quality Bloom is known for.

Every morning offers the opportunity to begin with great ingredients, careful technique, and the satisfaction of knowing your work will become part of someone's celebration, coffee break, or favorite tradition.

If you enjoy working independently, appreciate precision, and find satisfaction in creating beautiful food with your own hands, we'd love to meet you.

A Morning in the Life

Your day begins before sunrise, when the bakery is quiet and the ovens are just beginning to warm. Working alongside our Specialty Dessert Team, you'll bake and finish the desserts that fill Bloom's pastry case each morning.

Along the way, you'll:

  • Bake specialty cakes.
  • Bake signature doughnuts.
  • Bake cookies, bars, scones, biscuits, and seasonal desserts.
  • Prepare allergen-friendly desserts with care and attention to detail.
  • Follow recipes precisely to ensure consistency and quality.
  • Monitor ovens and baking times to produce exceptional results.
  • Keep your workspace clean, organized, and ready for the day's production.
  • Help create a pastry case that is as beautiful as it is delicious.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You...

  • Love baking and find satisfaction in creating things by hand.
  • Enjoy the peaceful rhythm of early mornings.
  • Appreciate both creativity and consistency.
  • Take pride in producing beautiful, high-quality work every day.
  • Have a strong sense of urgency while maintaining attention to detail.
  • Enjoy learning new techniques and continually improving your craft.
  • Can work independently while contributing to a collaborative team.
  • Stay calm and organized in a fast-paced kitchen.
  • Take pride in keeping your workspace clean and organized.
  • Can comfortably move and lift bakery trays, buckets, and ingredient bags.
  • Can lift 50 lbs.—we're a bakery, and strong team members make a big difference!

Why Bloom?

For over sixteen years, Bloom has been a place where craftsmanship, hospitality, and community come together.

We're proud of the food we make, the people we work alongside, and the experience we create for our guests every day.

The work that happens before sunrise shapes everything our guests experience when they walk through our doors. As an Early Morning Specialty Dessert Baker, you'll help create the cakes, pastries, and desserts that become part of life's everyday moments and biggest celebrations alike.

If you're looking for meaningful work, love baking, and want to be part of a team that values craftsmanship, kindness, and continuous learning, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
