I just checked my messages and there is one from an owner of a local bakery who is offering me a job! I'm excited and also a bit nervous. I was hoping that maybe some of you could offer me advice. I have no idea what to expect working in a bakery and how much it pays.

I have a full time job in finance right now. I also feel that I have a bit of freedom in the cakes I do now. Most people tell me whatever I think is best but if I'm working for somebody else how much creativity would I have? I mean I stress out enough hoping to please one person but now I would have to please the owner to. I just don't know what to do or expect. It would just be a really big step. I know nobody can make this decision for me but any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!!

just wanted to say congrats on the job offer and wish you the best with whatever you decide to do.

I was just looking at your pictures and they are ALL great. I am guessing that the owner saw your cakes and offered you a job based on what they saw. The owner would probably love for you to bring your creativity to the bakery. I would talk with the owner and let him/her know your concerns. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I am sure you'll make the right decision.

Thank you! Does anyone know what specialty bakery's pay? I know if it's min. wage then it's not something I will be able to do.
