Bakers bake and sell fresh baked goods throughout the day and night, sometimes on weekends. They bake pastries and pies and take personalized requests from customers. Bakers schedule themselves to work shifts during early mornings or late evenings, which means they may have less time off than other employees. To become a baker, it is generally necessary to complete some form of culinary education or training, such as a baking and pastry arts program. Additionally, bakers must have a strong understanding of food safety and sanitation practices to ensure that their products are safe for consumption.
