Full job description

The Job

We want a pastry chef to dream up pastries, sweets and desserts from scratch — no existing menu, no "this is how we've always done it," just your ideas and a kitchen to make them real.

Who We Are

We're a growing hospitality group a with multiple concepts under one roof — including an Italian dessert bar Now we want to go further: new pastries, new sweets, new desserts, built by someone who actually wants to invent things instead of replicate them.

What You'll Actually Do

  • Start with a blank page — develop original pastries, sweets and desserts, no inherited recipes to copy
  • Bring genuinely new ideas and get them from concept to counter
  • Experiment, taste, refine, repeat — we want R&D energy, not just production energy
  • Take charge of the process end to end: recipe, costing, presentation, the lot
  • Work at a serious pace — this is a real kitchen with real volume, not a hobby bench

Who We're Looking For

  • Creative — you don't wait for a brief, you bring one
  • Ambitious — you want to build something, not maintain something
  • Hard-working — early starts, high standards, no shortcuts
  • A leader — you want ownership of your section and your ideas
  • Funny is a bonus — we take the pastry seriously, not ourselves

What You Won't Be Doing

Following someone else's menu. That's the whole point.

Sound Like You?

Send us your CV and your best pastry idea — something nobody's plating yet.

Made fresh. Made with love. Made by you.

Pay: From $35.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
