We are looking for a full time chef to bake cakes and cupcakes in a small but highly successful business in Primrose Hill selling directly to the public and supplying several prestigious food shops. You must speak good English and have some experience in cooking, although training will be given. You must also be able to work weekends, early mornings and some bank holidays. These cakes rely on their quality and the care taken in making them so you must enjoy paying attention to detail.
Immediate start available. Pay £6.50 per hour.
