As there is less automation, bakers have more varied work and usually see a product through from start to finish. They use some machinery, but also do work by hand. They may even be trained in confectionery work, which includes cake decoration. If the bakery is attached to one shop, they might also be involved in serving customers, ordering and doing deliveries text/html 2009-06-19T08:00:00+00:00 http://www.masterbakers.co.uk/doku.php?id=what_is_it_like_to_work_in_a_bakery&rev=1245398400&do=diff Bakers work in a busy environment.
