Cake Decorator

About the role

Sugar & Spoon Patisserie is a boutique patisserie located in the East Coast / Katong neighbourhood, specialising in celebration cakes, wedding orders and plated desserts for cafes and events. We blend classic pastry techniques with contemporary cake design and maintain a steady flow of custom orders across weekdays and peak weekends.

The Cake Decorator will be responsible for translating client briefs into finished cakes — from structure and crumb-coating to detailed piping, fondant work and sugar flowers. This is a hands-on role that combines precision, creativity and the ability to manage multiple orders to agreed timelines.

You will work closely with the pastry chef and front-of-house to schedule collections and ensure consistent product quality. This role suits someone who enjoys a workshop-style production environment, has an eye for detail and wants opportunities to develop advanced sugarcraft and wedding-cake skills.
