Walmart decorators take the cake

  • On June 11, Walmart announced that among hourly roles outside of management, its cake decorators earn the most in U.S. stores.
  • This status is due to Walmart's policy that cake decorator candidates must be adults and have a minimum of half a year’s experience working in fresh production, although having previous decorating experience is preferred but not mandatory.
  • Walmart employs more than 6,000 cake decorators nationwide who collectively decorate over 150,000 cakes weekly across multiple states including Nevada and New York.
  • Among hourly roles at Walmart stores nationwide, cake decorators rank as top earners, making roughly $19.25 each hour on average. One veteran, Melissa Fernandez from New Jersey, who has worked there for 11 years, earns about $24.40 per hour, particularly benefiting during the busy graduation season.
  • These facts reflect Walmart’s continued prioritization of cake decorating roles due to steady demand and higher profit margins compared to other product areas.
