Bonus Bakers & Bonus Drivers
Bonus Baker:
Have trouble committing to a future date, but maybe you could bake for us in the next day or two? Can we call on you last minute to fill spots? Occasionally a baker gets ill, has car trouble, or we just have a last-minute opening and we hate to have a partner go empty handed.
Bonus Driver:
You have a car and you adore city driving! Have trouble committing to baking for an event but maybe you could pickup from a baker and/or drop off at a partner? Could a baker request assistance with making drop-off window because you have a flexible schedule?
