Prairie, WI Full Time | Part Time
POSTED ON 7/26/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/23/2026

Tips add an additional $4.00 to $6.00 per hour.

Turn creativity, precision, and pride into desserts people celebrate with.

If you enjoy baking, decorating, crafting, drawing, making things by hand, or refining details until they look right, this role gives you a place to build those skills. You do not need professional cake-decorating experience—we care more about your attitude, reliability, patience, and potential.

Craftsmanship matters here. Our cakes, ice cream, and novelty products should reflect care, consistency, presentation, and pride.

What You’ll Create

· Build and decorate custom cakes for birthdays, celebrations, and special events.

  • Develop cake-writing, piping, finishing, and presentation skills.
  • Produce fresh ice cream according to recipes and quality standards.
  • Create novelty desserts and prepare mix-ins and other ingredients.
  • Organize ingredients and inventory so products are ready when guests need them.
  • Maintain a clean, food-safe, efficient production area.
  • Learn from feedback, repeat successful techniques, and build consistency over time.

You Will Also Serve Guests

This is not a behind-the-scenes-only position. Every Crew Member serves guests. You will welcome guests, create custom ice cream orders, operate the register, answer questions, and help deliver a five-star experience whenever guest traffic requires it.

How Your Shifts Will Usually Feel

Weekday daytime shifts often have lighter guest traffic, creating more time for cake building, decorating, ice cream production, novelty products, preparation, inventory organization, and setting the store up for busier periods. The actual balance changes with orders, guest traffic, and store needs.

This Could Be a Strong Fit If You Are

  • A baker, cake decorator, culinary student, artist, crafter, maker, or creative person who enjoys hands-on work.
  • Patient with detail and willing to practice until your work becomes consistent.
  • Proud of presentation and uncomfortable sending out work that is careless or unfinished.
  • Comfortable shifting between focused production and warm guest interaction.
  • Looking for dependable weekday daytime work and able to honor the availability you commit to.

What We Look For

  • Kindness and a genuine desire to help guests and teammates.
  • Dependability—your team must be able to count on you to arrive on time and ready to work for every scheduled shift.
  • Pride in doing things correctly, consistently, and beautifully.
  • Curiosity, good judgment, and the willingness to think before asking.
  • The ability to stay productive, positive, and composed when the store gets busy.
  • Willingness to learn, accept coaching, and follow recipes, food-safety rules, company standards, and the Operations Playbook.

We hire for attitude and potential. We can teach cake decorating, ice cream production, food safety, register operation, and recipes. Kindness, ownership, reliability, work ethic, pride, and curiosity must come from you.

Growth That Is Actually Visible

Because we operate multiple stores, strong performers get noticed. Crew Members who master the role, help others succeed, and consistently demonstrate reliability and judgment may grow into Team Lead, Shift Lead, Assistant Manager, Store Manager, and multi-unit leadership opportunities.

Position Requirements

  • Availability that matches the needs stated in the posting, including required evenings, weekends, or weekday daytime hours.
  • Reliable transportation and the ability to report to every scheduled shift on time.
  • Ability to communicate clearly with guests and teammates and to follow written and verbal instructions.
  • Ability to stand and move for most of the shift; bend, reach, perform repetitive hand motions, and safely lift or carry up to 30 pounds.
  • Ability to work around food, dairy products, cleaning products, cold surfaces, and typical restaurant equipment.
  • Must meet all legal age and work-permit requirements applicable to the location and scheduled hours.

Ready to Apply?

Tell us why this kind of work interests you, what availability you can consistently commit to, and what you would bring to a team that takes five-star service and craftsmanship seriously.
