How to structure it

Name the role and, in one line, the strongest reason you're a fit. Skip the throat-clearing.
Middle
One or two paragraphs of real, specific evidence: what you did, and the result. This is where most letters go generic. Yours shouldn't.
Why this employer
One genuine, specific reason you want this job at this company, not any company. Vague enthusiasm reads as a template that wasn't customised.
Close
Thank them, note your resume is attached, and make it easy to reach you.
Re: Application for Cake Decorator
I am applying for the Cake Decorator position at [Company Name]. Between the piping bench and the client consultation table, the work I enjoy most is turning a brief into a cake that looks exactly as the customer pictured it, and I would like to bring that to your team.
In my current role I handle the full finish on celebration and wedding orders, from covering tiers in fondant through to hand piping lettering and adding modelled figures. One job that stands out was a three tier wedding cake where the client changed the colour palette and the floral arrangement with only a few days to go. I reworked the design, tested the new colours on a small dummy tier, rescheduled my decorating blocks so the fresh work sat close to the collection time, and delivered the cake with the revised finish agreed in writing. The client booked us again for her sister's engagement cake, and the studio still uses the dummy tier test as standard practice on late design changes.
Why I want to work with [Company Name] comes down to [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am looking for a studio where the finishing standard matters as much as the turnaround, and where I can keep building on sugar work and structured tier assembly.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached and sets out my decorating experience, qualifications and food safety training, and I would welcome the chance to talk through my work and complete a practical decorating trial.
Getting it right
- Keep it to one page. A hiring manager spends seconds on this before deciding whether to read your resume.
- Address a named person where you can find one, rather than "To Whom It May Concern".
- Don't repeat your resume line for line. Use the letter to add context a bullet point can't: why this role, why now, why here.
- Match the tone of the job ad. A formal listing calls for a formal letter; a casual one gives you room to write more like yourself.
This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Make it specific to the actual employer before you send it.
