baker
Oven-trained artisan
A baker is a person who bakes bread, pastries, and other goods, either professionally or as a serious pursuit.
The term extends to the business: The baker on Main Street opens at six.
A baker's dozen is thirteen—traditionally an extra item added to avoid accusations of shortchanging customers. (Capitalized Baker is a surname.)
