Head Pastry Chef

Head Pastry Chef

Sugar Bliss | Chicago, IL | Full-time | On-site

Sugar Bliss is hiring a Head Pastry Chef to lead our Chicago kitchen. This is a leader who happens to bake, not a baker who happens to lead.

You run the kitchen end-to-end: the team, the production calendar, the standards, and the cost line. You build and develop the team, keep labor and food costs within target, maintain consistent quality across cakes, cupcakes, and French macarons, and partner directly with the CEO on where the menu goes next.

We are a woman-owned boutique that has been part of Chicago's cake culture for more than 18 years. The kitchen is small in footprint and large in standard. The product is the brand.

What you bring: five or more years of pastry experience, at least two years leading a team, and a track record of holding labor and food cost inside a target band. Boutique-level finish. Weekend availability.

Interested? Send a resume and a short note to Teresa at [email protected]. Tell us about a kitchen you are proud of.

Pay: $70,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Employee discount
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Retirement plan

Work Location: In person
