Buttercream Cakes is a St. Paul studio building custom cakes and dessert experiences for weddings, celebrations, and corporate events across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and beyond.
What you'd actually be doing:
• Decorating our most important cakes start to finish: wedding tiers, sculpted and 3D builds, custom showpieces, the orders other shops turn down.
• Laying down buttercream that speaks for itself — smooth sides, sharp edges, clean lettering and borders.
• Engineering tiered and sculpted cakes that stay flawless from our bench to the venue table.
• Working fondant with confidence — covering, accents, sugar flowers, sculpting and fine detail.
• Matching color, design, and detail exactly to what the customer approved.
• Setting the finishing standard the rest of the decorating team works toward.
What tells us you're the one:
• 5+ years decorating professionally in a custom or high-volume bakery — minimum requirement
• Buttercream mastery--flawless execution
• Fondant, tiered, and sculpted work
• An eye for proportion and color, and the discipline to nail a spec exactly, every time.
• Cool under a deadline. Reliable. Easy to build a team around.
• Food safety know-how (ServSafe a plus). Weekend availability as needed during our busy stretches.
Formal culinary training is welcome but optional. What we're really hiring is your hands and your standards.
Why this is a seat worth taking:
• The best work in the building — weddings and custom design, not repetition.
• $30–$40/hour, full-time and steady, with health, dental, and vision.
• A premium, growing studio that treats decorating like the art it is.
