Pastry Cook – BKLYN Larder
BKLYN Larder is a celebration of good food and community. For over 15 years, we’ve proudly served Brooklyn with a thoughtfully curated selection of hand-crafted cheeses, house-made sandwiches and prepared foods, specialty grocery items, and gourmet catering. We’re also known for our unique gift baskets, shipped nationwide, and our popular virtual tasting events. Our small, tight-knit team works collaboratively in a supportive, all-hands-on-deck environment.
About the Position:
We are seeking an experienced Pastry Cook to join and help lead our well-established pastry program alongside our Chef. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to take on more responsibility, contribute creatively, and grow within a stable and respected food business—without the intensity of a high-volume restaurant environment.

- Maintain recipe catalog and cost analysis software as new recipes are developed and any changes are made.
- Meet all timelines for seasonal menu changes and catering orders
- Work closely with our chef to prioritize daily production, address ordering needs, and develop new recipe ideas.
We're looking for a self-starter who can work both independently and collaboratively with our team. This is an ideal role for someone ready to advance in their career, refine their leadership skills, and bring their own creative touches to an already strong pastry program.

- Part-time: ~25 hours per week
- 5 days a week: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday
