Bakers mix and bake ingredients to produce breads, pastries, and other baked goods.
The average wedding cake is usually a simple, three-tiered affair. On average, it probably weighs maybe 20 pounds. What would you do if your cake weighed seven and a half tons? In early 2004 a shopping and convention company set out to bake the world's largest cake. Its five tiers reached 17 feet high - that's nearly three six-foot tall people stacked on top of each other! Whoever baked this cake surely put in a lot of overtime.
Some bakers work in kitchens in restaurants, grocery stores, and bakery shops. Other bakers work for companies that manufacture large quantities of baked goods. These packaged goods are then sold through businesses such as grocery stores. Both types of bakers perform similar tasks but on a different scale. For example, bakers who work for manufacturing companies use large ovens and mixing devices. They follow recipes that produce large numbers of the same item.
