The Bakery Manager called me less than a week after I applied to set up an in person interview. The interview felt like more of a formality than anything else. He asked my previous work experience (I had no formal decorating experience, but had done it as a hobby for years). We talked for a bit about availiability, and what the job would consist of. He took me on the floor and asked me to write "Happy Birthday" and my own name in buttercream and make a buttercream rose. Although many of the people who were hired after me did not have to do any of that. He offered me the job on the spot, and I started a few days later. The first few days were the typical orientation process -- introdutions, history of the company, expectations of employess, etc. -- followed by two or three days of online modules/CBTs (computer based training). They had me on the floor helping with production and learning the techniques and products the next time I was scheduled to work.

Quick and easy, didn’t really ask me many questions, other than previous experience and why I want to work for the company. They also had me demonstrate basic cake decorating skills like icing,decorations, etc.
