Baker

A baker is someone who produces, bakes and sells breads, rolls, biscuits or cookies, and/or crackers using an oven or other concentrated heat source. Cakes and similar foods may also be produced, as the traditional boundaries between what is produced by a baker as opposed to a pastry chef have blurred in recent decades. The place where a baker works is called a bakery.

Famous quotes containing the word baker:

    Unpleasant questions are being raised about Mother’s Day. Is this day necessary? . . . Isn’t it bad public policy? . . .

    —Russell Baker (20th century)

    Never let the other fellow set the agenda.
    —James Baker (b. 1930)

    Inanimate objects are classified scientifically into three major categories—those that don’t work, those that break down and those that get lost.
    —Russell Baker (b. 1925)
