A cake decorator is something of an artist. It requires a steady hand, ability to mix colors. Knowledge of tips to use, air brushes, and ability to create the flowers, roses, leafs and such with the piping bag. What you do not hear or see in most job requirements is ability to stand and work for a shift, as decorators stations do not have chairs.

Mix the cake batter, prep the pans, insure oven is at correct temp. pour batter into the pans and place into the oven. Bake product until it is done, then allow it to cool and remove from pan. Cake is then placed into a cooler until the cake decorator needs it.
