Find a local artisan baker near you

An artisan baker only uses natural ingredients and bakes using traditional baking methods. Typically they bake everything from scratch and use fermentation when baking handcrafted bread, sweets, and pastries. A regular baker uses industrial processes to produce goodies commercially. Artisan bakers are specially trained in creating pastries and desserts by hand.

The minimum requirements to look for in an artisan baker are their credentials and experience. But aside from that, you also need someone creative, detail-oriented, patient, and dedicated to their craft. They should also know how to communicate and accept constructive criticism. All these qualities can help create a good working relationship with you as their client.

Definitely! Although your baker may use high-quality ingredients, your bread and pastries can still contain wheat gluten, nuts, soya, and other allergens. So before your Tasker bakes your artisan treat, make sure to inform them of your allergies and restrictions. Feel free to tell them if you’re following keto, vegan, gluten-free and other specific diets.

It’s best to ask your Tasker about this because it can depend on the kind of pastry and the complexity of your request. Because artisan goodies are handcrafted, it generally takes them a long time to be ready compared to commercially-produced desserts and pastries. The fermentation alone should last for about 24 hours, not to mention other processes such as mixing, makeup, proofing, dusting flour, and baking in hearth ovens. 

We highly recommend that you post your task closer to your preferred schedule. Taskers can find it extra challenging to commit if the booking is scheduled too far into the future. But it’s also equally important to make sure that there’s enough time for your Tasker to prepare for your task. We suggest that you post a task a few weeks to a month before your preferred schedule. 

You can use Airtasker Pay found on our platform for a cashless transaction. You can also pay via cash if that’s what you prefer. Just remember to inform your Tasker about the payment method you will use to pay for their service. Also, discuss the service inclusions and if there are possibly any additional fees.
