Baker Profession

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

This BAKER word explanation is related to the cooking profession.

A baker is someone who primarily bakes and sells bread and other goodies which needs to be baked in the oven. Cakes and similar foods may also be produced. There used to be boundaries between what is produced by a baker as opposed to a pastry chef in past, but have blurred in recent decades.

The place where a baker works is called a bakery, bakehouse or bakeshop.

Bakers can work in different environments both as employees or owning their own stores/bakeries. Bakers could be working in the following types of businesses:

  • Large factories – These produce bread and flour based baked products which are then transported to numerous selling points. These normally include supermarkets, convenience and grocery stores, etc. Bakers in these environments are largely there for quality control because machines nd technology take care of much of the labour intensive aspect of the job.
  • Small Independent bakeries – These are mostly family-run businesses. They may specialise in particular types of products or country of origin.
  • Chain stores – These are mostly supermarkets selling the same range of baked products. Bakers in these stores bake according to a pre-determined recipe book using techniques used by the franchising model. The recipes used tend to be well-founded, and popular with the paying public.
