Things that open doors
Red Seal Baker certificate
The credential large employers and unions recognise.
Chocolate and sugar work
Tempering, showpieces and bonbons are specialist skills that few cooks have.
Wedding cake work
High-margin, and a strong side business if you build a portfolio.
Baking without gluten or allergens
Growing demand and most bakeshops are weak at it.
Cruise ships and resorts
Long contracts, room and board provided, and you save nearly everything you earn.
