Edison's Ice Cream Seeks Two Full-Time Bakers in Fort Collins

Edison's Creamery is hiring two full-time bakers to join its Fort Collins team, combining specialized baking responsibilities with general kitchen operations.

The positions require candidates who are detail-oriented and comfortable working both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment, according to the November 14 announcement from the locally owned ice cream shop.

Prospective applicants can review the complete job description through the company's online posting and should submit cover letters and resumes to [email protected].

The hiring comes as full-time baker positions remain relatively scarce in Northern Colorado's food service sector. According to Colorado Department of Labor and Employment data, approximately 20 to 30 full-time baker openings exist across Larimer and Weld Counties at any given time, compared to several hundred postings for general food service roles.

Median wages for bakers in the region stand at approximately $18.35 per hour, translating to about $38,200 annually for full-time work. This compensation exceeds typical pay for line cooks at $16.50 per hour and food preparation workers at around $15 per hour.

The food service and hospitality sector employs roughly 8,700 workers in Larimer County, representing about 7 percent of total county employment. The industry continues to experience high turnover rates and persistent difficulty filling both part-time and full-time positions.

Edison's recently highlighted its production of hundreds of house-made gluten-free waffle cones weekly at its Old Town Fort Collins location, using oat flour and cinnamon in the recipe.

Edison's Creamery was founded by Nate Frary, who created the business around handcrafted ice cream experiences with a focus on community engagement. The company operates as a locally owned small-batch ice cream producer serving Northern Colorado communities.
