Why Henrietta suits a baker resume
Henrietta prints a summary, then Work Experience, then Education and a skills grid, in black and grey. Bakery owners read what you bake and how much first, and this traditional page keeps the focus on your work at the bench.
Second choice: Meridian. Meridian puts skills first, a fit for production bakers listing large equipment.
What goes in each section, in Henrietta's order
Henrietta prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

Frequently asked questions
What should a baker resume focus on?
Products, daily output, consistency, waste, food safety and equipment. Bakery owners want bakers who turn out the same high-quality product every day. Lead with output and the products you know best.
How do I get a bakery job with no professional experience?
Show home baking, a baking course or kitchen work, and say you are happy to work early shifts. Many bakeries hire for reliability and train on their recipes.
Should I include photos of my work?
A link to an Instagram or portfolio with clear photos helps. Keep it focused on your baking and professional in tone. Include a range of products so owners see both bread and pastry skills.
How do I move from production baker to lead or head baker?
Show shifts you led, bakers you trained and planning or waste work you owned. Recipe development also helps.
Is this template right for cake decorators or pastry bakers?
Yes. Replace bread with cakes or pastries and describe decorating styles, orders per week and custom work.
How long should the resume be?
One page. Keep output and products near the top.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Henrietta PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 5 section headings and all 9 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
