Pastry Chefessert Deli, Werribee VIC

~20 - 40hrs/week · Casual to start · Set your own hours (1am–3pm window)

About Baby J's

We're Australia's first dessert deli — whole cakes displayed like a deli counter, sliced to order by weight and wrapped in butcher paper. We're a small, family-run shop in Werribee with a loyal local following and big plans. It's a fun, real food concept and we need someone who gets that.

The role

We need a reliable, skilled baker to produce our core range and keep the fridge stocked. You'll be working independently in the kitchen — following our recipes, maintaining quality and consistency, and taking genuine pride in what comes out. This is a hands-on production role, not a management position.

What you'll be making

• Cheesecakes: New York, No-bake, Basque

• Pavlovas, tarts, and slices

• Cakes, Brownies, cookies

• Seasonal specials as the menu grows

• Batch production to keep the deli fridge full

What we're looking for

• Experience in a commercial kitchen or bakery

• Can follow a recipe precisely and produce consistent results

• Good cake decorating skills — presentation matters

• Self-managed, reliable, and takes ownership of their work

• Food safety certificate (or willing to get one)

• A genuine love of desserts

Hours

Around 38 hours per week to start. You set your own hours within our production window of 1am–3pm Monday - saturday— we care about output, not clock-watching.

Bonus if you're keen

Down the track there's real opportunity to help shape our catering menu and contribute new ideas to the range. No pressure — just upside for the right person who wants it.

Why Baby J's

• Small team, good vibes, direct communication with the owner

• Set your own hours — genuine flexibility

• Werribee-based, no long commute

• Casual to start with a clear path to regular hours for the right person
