Yummelia is hiring!
Cake Studio Assistant / Junior Baker
(aka: the person who helps make the cake magic happen)
Location: Windsor/Caulfield North
Role type: On going contractor position
Hours: 2 days per week - Tuesday/Wednesday (flexible with days or even half days)
The vibe
Yummelia is busy, busy and on the lookout for an extra set of hands to help make beautiful buttercream cakes come to life. I'm looking for a happy, creative, cake-lover to join the team (me). You’ll be doing a mix of all kinds of things as it’s a small operation, but that’s what makes it fun.
This role is perfect if you:
Love baking
Have some stacking and decorating experience or you’re keen to learn
Get weirdly satisfied by clean benches and organised sprinkles
An eye for details
Enjoy filming pretty, behind-the-scenes moments
Want hands-on experience in a cake studio
Love a little tiktok scroll and have a eye for socials
Resourceful and confident, we don’t stress in this kitchen (gives us wrinkles)
If buttercream brings you joy and you’re not afraid of a little dish duty between dreamy bakes… keep reading!
What you’ll be doing
Baking & Cake Support
Helping with baking, mixing, measuring & prep (my recipes are choc/vanilla and not difficult)
Making buttercream (can teach you)
Checking stock levels
Assisting with cake storage and assembly
Bonus points for simple decorating skills
Packaging orders and finishing touches
You need to be able to confidently carry a cake without dropping it haha
Studio & Prep Life
Washing dishes, tins & tools (team effort, always)
Keeping the studio clean, organised & vibey
General prep and kitchen support on bake days
Having the foresight to clean, stack, grab when needed eg. drop something on the floor, grab the mop and clean it up without being asked like a perfect cleaning fairy.
Content & Creative Bits
Filming short BTS clips (piping, glazing, cake ASMR)
Helping capture casual content for Instagram & TikTok
Sharing creative ideas if that’s your thing. I am hoping to find someone that comes to work and says ‘I’ve saved some tiktoks we need to recreate’ or look at how beautiful this is…
Creativity and ideas are so welcome! I have A LOT of content just sitting on my phone waiting to be posted. I am hoping to find someone happy in their down time, whilst cakes are baking, to jump on the comp and schedule some content. We will be surrounded by beautiful cakes but I'm currently too time poor to do them justice, as a team I'd love to document the process in a fun and very gorg way.
You’re probably a great fit if you:
Genuinely love baking
Are process driven, I run this like a well oiled machine (in a cute way)
Have a positive, can-do attitude (good energy matters ✨)
Don’t stress the small stuff
Are reliable, organised & happy to help wherever needed
Care about aesthetics & details, there is no ‘good enough’ in this kitchen, all cakes must be perfectly gorgeous.
Not afraid to ask questions, learn and bring your own ideas.
Want to learn and grow your skills
Experience in baking, decorating, or social media is a bonus, but not essential — passion matters more. You do however need to know the fundamentals of baking and be able to pick up the recipes quickly once taught.
What’s in it for you
Hands-on cake studio experience
Real baking & decorating (not just dishes)
Every week is different, new cake designs all the time
A creative, supportive, small team environment
Flexible and the opportunity for more hours
Money
Cash dollar bills… remuneration will be worked out with experience taken into consideration. As a contractor will invoice me weekly and be paid $xx per hour inclusive of GST (if applicable) + 11.5% super.
. . . . . .
If this is something that sounds perfect for you and you have read this far… then please apply! Send over a bit about yourself and why you’d love the role. Please include any experience and confirm what days you’re able to work and when you could start.

Subject line: Yummelia Application - Your Name
It’s not that serious, cakes are fun, I am looking for someone I also want to work with on a regular basis. Jokes will get you a long way and I love GIFs…
I would like to hire someone asap so I will be going through applicants regularly but if this ad is up then it’s still available (like FB marketplace). I will contact all applicants regardless of if they are successful.
Thank you
I also hate that this page is centre aligned but I can't change it, sorry x
