Exciting Roles Available: Share Your Passion!

We are currently seeking talented individuals for two distinct, yet equally inspiring, freelance positions. Both roles offer the flexibility of remote work and adaptable hours, perfect for those seeking to blend their passion with their professional lives.

Creative Writer: Crafting Engaging Narratives Around Cake

Are you a wordsmith who can transform the magic of baking into captivating stories? We’re searching for a freelance creative writer to enrich our content with compelling narratives and insightful articles. This part-time, remote position offers flexible hours, allowing you to balance your work with other commitments. Your primary responsibility will be researching and writing two unique articles per month, with potential for additional assignments as opportunities arise. These articles will delve into various aspects of the cake world, from emerging trends and historical perspectives to ingredient spotlights and interviews with leading industry figures. We aim to inform, entertain, and inspire our readers through expertly crafted prose.

What we’re looking for in a Creative Writer:

• Proven Writing Experience: A strong portfolio demonstrating your ability to write clear, engaging, and well-researched content. Experience in food writing or lifestyle blogging is a significant plus.
• WordPress Proficiency: Familiarity with the WordPress platform is essential for publishing and managing your content efficiently.
• Keen Attention to Detail: From grammar and spelling to factual accuracy, precision is paramount in maintaining our high editorial standards.
• Ability to Hit Deadlines: We operate on a consistent publishing schedule, and punctuality is key to our success.
• A Love for Cake and Appreciation of Baking Skills: While baking a “killer cake” isn’t a job requirement for this writing role, a genuine enthusiasm for the subject matter is absolutely crucial. You should be able to appreciate the artistry, science, and passion behind every baked good.

Contributor / Content Creator: Baking, Styling, Photographing, and Sharing

Are you a baker, decorator, and visual storyteller all rolled into one? We are actively seeking two freelance bloggers to join our esteemed team of contributors. This is also a part-time, remote position with flexible hours, designed for individuals who are passionate about sharing their baking expertise through stunning visuals and clear instructions. Each contributor will be responsible for creating one comprehensive blog post per month. This isn’t just about writing; it encompasses the full creative process: conceptualizing, baking, styling, photographing, and ultimately writing the engaging narrative that accompanies your creation.

We have two distinct openings within this role, catering to different areas of expertise:

• Recipe Creation Specialist: This role is for the innovative baker who loves developing and perfecting new recipes. You’ll be responsible for creating unique, delicious, and repeatable cake, cupcake, or dessert recipes, documenting each step, and presenting the final product beautifully. Your recipes will inspire home bakers to try new flavors and techniques.
• Decorating Tutorial Creation Specialist: This position is for the artistic decorator who enjoys breaking down complex decorating techniques into easy-to-follow steps. Whether it’s buttercream flowers, fondant figures, or advanced piping designs, you’ll guide our readers through the process with clear instructions and illustrative photography.

These are highly selective positions, as you will be joining our established and celebrated team of contributors. We pride ourselves on the exceptional quality of our content, both in terms of visual appeal and instructional clarity. Therefore, candidates should demonstrate not only baking and decorating proficiency but also strong food photography skills and the ability to articulate instructions effectively.

Key responsibilities include:

• Conceptualizing original content ideas relevant to our audience.
• Executing baking and decorating projects with precision and creativity.
• Styling food and props for professional-quality photography.
• Capturing high-resolution, aesthetically pleasing images that accurately represent the process and final product.
• Writing clear, concise, and engaging step-by-step instructions and introductory text.
• Adhering to brand guidelines for style, tone, and visual presentation.
