If you have a passion for the craft of cake decorating and take pride in creating beautiful, consistent finished products, this could be a great fit for you.

This hands-on role puts you right at the heart of Costco’s bakery production, where you’ll be responsible for transforming baked goods into presentation-ready cakes — from frosting and garnishing to handling member special orders with personalized designs and messages. It’s a role that blends artistry with precision and a commitment to quality.

About the Role: Cake Decorator

As a Cake Decorator at Costco Regina, your primary responsibility is to frost, fill, and decorate cakes using spatulas, pastry bags, and decorating tips. You’ll work with Costco’s established formulas and department production procedures to ensure every cake meets the brand’s high standards for quality and consistency. From applying fillings between layers to creating intricate borders, figures, and personalized writing, your attention to detail will shine in every product you complete.

Beyond decorating, you’ll also be responsible for maintaining a clean and safe work area, boxing and racking finished cakes for display or cooler storage, and assisting with other bakery duties as needed. Providing prompt and courteous service to Costco members — including communicating with members who have placed special cake orders — is also a key part of the job.
