If a post is going to be made by the bakery, this is where it will be posted first. It will still be reblogged to the main site, but there will be no way to see it on the main site's page.

Application Accepted: Pearl

Full Name: Pearl Age: 21 Previous/Other Employment: Uh, if stuff from before I was taken here counts, I used to do the news and do live concerts with my partner Marina. We were an idol group, and I did the rapping! Position You’re Applying For (See List Below): Front-of-house Relevant Experience/Skills: Well, considering I used to have lots of fans back home, I have to be pretty good with people and able to put up with even weird stuff! Y'know. Those questions that famous people get. Those. If I can deal with that and interviews, I can deal with this. Plus, I can convince people to buy stuff really easily, too. People love fresh rhymes! Do you have a history of criminal activity?: Nope Are you okay with working with many spiders?: I guess so? Other Notes: I am interested in learning how to decorate cakes but I don’t know how yet. Also I can turn into a squid. I dunno why you would need me to do that, but yeah. I can’t do it for long because of the dumb scientists, anyways. Icon:

“If you can somehow use your rhymes and rapping to convince people to purchase more food, I will be impressed. And the cake decoration can be taught on the side, separate from your front-of-house hours, if you would like. You’d still get paid as if you were working, too~

Regardless, welcome~! I’m happy to work with you, Pearl.”

                                                 Holiday Promotion!

As the weather gets colder, your desire for tasty treats to indulge yourself with goes up, right? It should! And maybe a 10% off holiday sale will help you out. Starting tomorrow, December 12th, until the clock strikes midnight on New Years Eve, you will be able to enjoy any one of our delights on offer for a little bit less than usual.

But just in case you want to justify your purchase even more, for the duration of this sale, 20% of proceeds will go straight to local charities. This is the season of giving, after all. Every purchase you make will send you home not only with sweet treats but also good feelings knowing that you’re helping out the less fortunate!

Additionally, the store will be closing one hour earlier on weekdays (6pm instead of 7pm) from December 12th to December 20th, and the store will be closed completely on December 25th. We want our employees to be able to enjoy their (paid) holidays, too!

Notice for Employees

Thanks to the generous payment received for providing the desserts for the Ushiromiya family’s Halloween party ($20,000 per worker involved!), you will be receiving a bonus check at the end of this work week. The check will amount to a total of:

$15,000

Not every employee played an involved role in preparing the desserts for the party, but it would be unfair if they were left out! Therefore, the total profit was split up among all employees, which accounts for why the bonus is less than the aforementioned $20,000.

Thank you!

Employees:

@pctrich0r @triggersheroine @monosweet @burndread @ojimatsu @utatteru @pockyfortune

{That should be all the active employees! If I missed you, first of all, I’m so sorry, and second of all, you can assume you got the bonus as well! No real harm done, don’t worry!}

Application Accepted: Kamui Gakupo

Full Name: Kamui Gakupo. Age: 22. Previous Employment: Before the city, I was considered an idol; now I’m currently working at Dressed to Kill, as well. Position You’re Applying For: Pastry Chef (& Front-of-House, if help is needed there). Relevant Experience/Skills: On my own, I would do plenty of cooking and baking where I was originally from. It wasn’t really a job, so much as something I enjoyed doing, and I had other people I would create things for as well. I won’t call myself a master or anything, but I certainly know how to work around a kitchen. And alongside that, my skills doing things along the lines of idol work prepared me for interactions with people, so I’m definitely no stranger to working with others or customers. Do you have a history of criminal activity?: Absolutely not. Are you okay with working with many spiders?: Yes. Other Notes: Er, my hair is admittedly rather long, so I’d definitely take care to keep it out of the way. I’m not a stranger to that sort of thing. Icon:

“An idol, hm? First one of those I’ve met, to my memory, that has a thing for baking... not that that’s a bad thing! I’m very glad to hear it. And your hair should pose no issue as well, provided you keep it in check.”

“You’re hired.”

Application Accepted: Allen Avadonia

Do you have a history of criminal activity?: No.

Are you okay with working with many spiders?: I would never discriminate against different species, so yes.

Other Notes: My skillset is in making treats with low sugar like brioche, not pastries, so that may or may not be trouble.

Icon:

“It’s quite alright that you’re better with low sugar products. We have more than enough other employees to make up for that~! I’m sure your five years of cooking experience will come in very handy otherwise. Welcome to the team, deary!”

“Very humble, are we? A perfect ten is not a score given out lightly, you know! But I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself. Please do keep the magic to a minimum, however.”
