Baker / Pastry Cook – Full-Time
Oakwood Public Market – Dripping Springs, TX

About Oakwood Public Market

Oakwood Public Market is a new gathering place in the heart of Dripping Springs - a vibrant, multi-concept destination featuring a craft coffee shop, pizzeria, retro soda fountain and ice cream counter, full bar, bakery, and specialty grocery. We're inspired by the Hill Country’s rich cultural heritage and exist to build a community rooted in intentional hospitality.

  Our Core Values

  • Service of Others - We find joy in creating joy for others.
  • Positivity - We lead with optimism, compassion, and presence.
  • Growth - We invest in people — as teammates, learners, and leaders.
  • Discipline - We respect process and structure to drive excellence.
  • Resourcefulness - We do more with what we’ve got — creatively and efficiently.

  The Role

As a Pastry Cook , you’ll lead daily production of our house-made baked goods with consistency, discipline, and care. This role calls for technical skill, creativity, and a deep respect for process — someone who sees pastry not just as product, but as contribution. You’ll set the pace and standard for our program, shaping the rhythm of the kitchen each day.

  What You’ll Do

  • Prepare a variety of baked goods: cookies, tarts, laminated pastries, cakes, breads, and seasonal specialties
  • Lead production and execute recipes with consistency and attention to detail
  • Maintain an organized, clean, and efficient station
  • Operate mixers, ovens, sheeters, and other equipment with care and precision
  • Collaborate on recipe refinement and seasonal menu development
  • Communicate clearly across the kitchen and front-of-house teams
  • Uphold kitchen systems for sanitation, labeling, storage, and prep

  Tools of the Trade

  • Formal training in pastry/baking is preferred, but not required
  • Familiarity with production sheets, scaling, and commercial kitchen equipment
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, multi-concept environment
  • Experience with Toast POS is a plus (especially for pre-orders or inventory)

  Who You Are

  • A grounded, reliable baker with a strong sense of pride in your craft
  • Hospitality-minded — you understand that every pastry is part of someone’s experience
  • Clear communicator and team player
  • A mentor-in-the-making, with a desire to grow while guiding others
  • Self-motivated and structured, even when no one’s watching
