What is a cake tester?

Cake testers are professionals who assess the quality, texture, flavor, and overall consistency of cakes during and after baking. Their primary role is to ensure that cakes meet specific standards set by bakeries or manufacturers. Cake testers use specialized tools, such as metal or plastic sticks, to check if cakes are baked thoroughly by inserting them into the cake and observing if any batter sticks. They may also evaluate other sensory aspects, including taste and appearance, to guarantee customer satisfaction. This job is essential in commercial bakeries and food production facilities to maintain high product quality.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a cake tester?

To thrive as a Cake Tester, you need a refined palate, keen sensory evaluation skills, and a background in food science, baking, or culinary arts. Familiarity with food safety regulations, tasting protocols, and laboratory analysis tools is typically required. Attention to detail, clear communication, and objectivity are essential soft skills for providing accurate feedback and working with baking teams. These skills ensure product quality, consistency, and consumer satisfaction in the baked goods industry.

What are common challenges faced by cake testers, and how can they be addressed?

Cake Testers often encounter challenges such as maintaining objectivity when evaluating multiple cakes, dealing with palate fatigue, and adhering to strict quality standards. To overcome these, it is important to follow standardized tasting protocols, cleanse the palate between samples, and collaborate closely with bakers and quality assurance teams to provide clear, constructive feedback. Staying organized and documenting observations carefully also ensures consistency and reliability in test results.

Full-time

Posted 19 days ago

Key responsibilities

  • Run day-to-day Encompass administration, including managing users, permissions, business rules, forms, templates, and support requests.

Job description

CAKE Mortgage is a cutting-edge wholesale mortgage lender specializing in Non-QM products. We're redefining the lending experience with innovative programs, streamlined processes, and a commitment to speed and precision. As we grow, we're looking for forward-thinking professionals who thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments.
The Lead Encompass Administrator owns CAKE's Encompass environment and TPO Connect portal. The job splits between day-to-day administration and project work: building rules and workflows, improving how loans move through the system, and raising the standard for how the platform is configured, tested, and changed.
You will be the escalation point for Encompass issues, the owner of the enhancement roadmap, and engineering's partner as we build our custom TPO platform. This is a functional and technical lead role that operates with significant autonomy.
Key Responsibilities
  • Run day-to-day Encompass administration: users, personas, permissions, business rules, forms, templates, investor and program updates, and support requests.
  • Design and build business rules and workflow automation that cut manual work, shorten cycle times, and improve data quality.
  • Administer TPO Connect and the third-party integrations connected to Encompass, including configuration, testing, and vendor coordination.
  • Set and enforce platform standards: naming, documentation, change control, and testing before anything reaches production.
  • Own the enhancement roadmap with Operations, Underwriting, Closing, Compliance, and Sales. Prioritize requests, assess impact, and deliver.
  • Partner with engineering on our custom TPO platform: data mapping, workflow parity, testing, and cutover.
  • Serve as the escalation point for production issues. Run root cause analysis and vendor escalations through to resolution.
  • Keep configurations, access, and changes audit ready. Support compliance reviews and exams.
  • Train users on material changes and document what you build.
  • Set standards, review complex configuration work, and mentor administrators and power users as a functional and technical lead.

Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field preferred, or equivalent experience.
  • 6+ years administering Encompass in a mortgage lending environment.
  • Deep hands-on experience with personas, permissions, custom fields, input forms, templates, business rules, and workflow automation.
  • Experience administering TPO Connect or supporting a TPO channel.
  • Experience running system changes end to end: requirements, design, testing, deployment, documentation, and support.
  • Working knowledge of mortgage operations from Processing through Closing.
  • Non-QM or wholesale lending experience strongly preferred.
  • Encompass Administrator certification or other ICE Mortgage Technology certification strongly preferred.
  • Strong systems thinking; able to trace how a rule change ripples through workflows, reports, and downstream teams before making it.
  • Experience running a production incident from triage through root cause, vendor escalation, and a lasting fix.
  • Excellent communication skills with operators, executives, and engineers, with strong documentation habits.

Why Join CAKE Mortgage?
  • Be part of a fast-growing company changing the game in Non-QM.
  • Competitive compensation and performance-based bonuses.
  • Collaborative and entrepreneurial culture.
  • Opportunities for career advancement and innovation.
