Avalon Catering is an off-premise catering company that focuses on providing our clients the freshest and most genuine local menu items. We promise fresh, locally grown and sustainably sourced cuisine that is artfully presented and professionally served.

For over 23 years, we have pioneered locally-sourced off-premise catering in Atlanta. We take pride in offering each client a menu that is unique and difficult to duplicate. As a vendor-partner, we've forged relationships with and supported small and local farms throughout Georgia.  

We are looking for a professional Pastry Chef to plan for and prepare desserts in our high-volume, scratch kitchen, following our Executive Chef's specifications and guidelines. The successful candidate will apply excellent culinary and managerial skills to play a critical role in maintaining and enhancing our clients' satisfaction and our company's success. This individual will have full ownership of their work. Working knowledge of and passion for locally grown, sustainable, organic foods is a plus as we are highly committed to supporting local foodways.

Our Pastry Chef can expect to plan for and produce an extremely high-volume of sweets ranging from simple bars and cookies to wedding cakes, plated desserts, pies, and a wide range of exquisite pickup sweets including, but not limited to, trifles, truffles, macarons and macaroons, petit fours, mini eclairs and any number of crackers, quick breads, jams, compotes and whatever else the imagination of our team and our clients might capture.

The highly-qualified candidate will have high-volume experience, preferably in an off-premise catering environment, and will exhibit extreme attention to planning, organization, and creativity. This position is well suited for a person with a high level of patience and the ability to be resourceful.

Attitude first; skills second! We require a candidate to possess a positive and productive demeanor and to execute this key role with respect towards clients, coworkers, the kitchen, the food, and the company. Long hours and challenging, important work will appeal to the right candidate as this position is ripe with opportunity for this person to grow within the culinary industry by making lasting connections with highly regarded farmers, suppliers, colleagues, and other industry stalwarts with which we are so proud to work.

If you play nice on a team, work gracefully under pressure, cook food that is yummy and beautiful, know how to encourage and motivate folks, and want to work with a company that values respectful behavior and having a little fun while at work, please send your resume to our Executive Chef.
