About Brunos

Bruno’s is a specialty café built around great coffee, thoughtful food, artisan baking, beautiful pastry, and a strong sense of community.

We are looking for a passionate and experienced Bakery & Pastry Chef de Partie who understands both the craft and discipline behind high-quality baking and pastry.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working with dough, butter, chocolate, creams, textures, and presentation — and wants to create products that are as beautiful as they are delicious.

The Role

As a Bakery & Pastry CDP, you will work closely with the pastry and kitchen team to produce Bruno’s range of artisan breads, viennoiserie, pastries, desserts, and plated offerings .

You should have strong fundamentals, attention to detail, and the ability to maintain consistency in a professional, high-volume kitchen.

Key Responsibilities

Artisan Bakery

- Produce a range of artisan breads and bakery products.
- Work confidently with sourdough, preferments, fermentation, proofing, shaping, scoring, and baking.
- Understand dough development, hydration, temperature control, fermentation, and troubleshooting.
- Maintain consistency in size, texture, flavour, crust, and crumb.
- Follow recipes and production schedules accurately.

Viennoiserie & Laminated Pastry

- Produce high-quality laminated pastries including croissants, pain au chocolat, Danish pastries, and seasonal viennoiserie.
- Understand lamination, butter temperature, dough temperature, fermentation, proofing, and baking.
- Maintain clean and precise lamination with consistent layers and shape.
- Assist in developing new viennoiserie products and seasonal specials.

Pastry & Desserts

- Prepare cakes, tarts, choux pastry, cookies, creams, mousses, custards, fillings, glazes, and other pastry components.
- Work with chocolate, including tempering, moulding, decoration, ganache, and confectionery applications.
- Have experience with entremets, up-to-date French pastry, and plated desserts .
- Execute desserts with attention to flavour, texture, balance, and presentation.




- Assist in developing new desserts and pastry products for the café.

Production & Operations

- Follow daily and weekly production plans.
- Maintain consistent quality and presentation across all products.
- Maintain accurate mise en place and ensure ingredients are prepared ahead of service.
- Follow food safety, hygiene, storage, and kitchen SOPs.
- Monitor ingredient usage and minimise wastage.
- Maintain cleanliness and organisation of the bakery and pastry section.
- Assist with inventory and communicate ingredient requirements to the pastry/bakery leadership.
- Work efficiently during high-volume production and service.

What We’re Looking For

- 2–4+ years of professional bakery/pastry experience.
- Strong experience with artisan breads and laminated pastries .
- Practical experience with French pastry and modern desserts .
- Experience working with chocolate and chocolate-based preparations .
- Knowledge of entremets, mousse cakes, tarts, choux, creams, glazes, and plated desserts .
- Strong understanding of fermentation, dough handling, baking, and temperature control.
- Good knowledge of food safety and professional kitchen hygiene.
- Ability to work independently while also functioning effectively within a team.
- Strong attention to detail and consistency.
- Ability to work efficiently in a high-volume production environment.
- A creative mindset and genuine passion for baking and pastry.
- Culinary or pastry education is preferred but strong practical experience matters more than a certificate .

The Person We’re Looking For We’re looking for someone who:

Understands the craft.

Respects the ingredients.

Cares about the details.

Wants to keep getting better.

You should be equally comfortable working with a sourdough starter, laminating croissants, tempering chocolate, finishing an entremet, or plating a dessert.

We value technique, consistency, curiosity, cleanliness, and creativity .

If you are passionate about artisan baking and modern pastry and want to be part of building an ambitious bakery and pastry program at Bruno’s, we’d love to hear from you.
