I would get paid a little less than I do now, though pay increase is every 6 month. Where I work now you only get 10 cents higher a year if you do well on the evaluation. The benefits are better where I work right now since it is connected with the hospital in this region. The manager of this bakery said that I mainly am waiting this long for you is because my wife enjoyed working with you because we would of hired someone by next week.

Though I feel like I could ask him by e-mail if I can get a little higher pay because I read that pastry chefs in my position normally get paid about $2 higher that I would get paid even though I had asked already. This place happens to be a European style bakery. I also had forgotten to ask about sick and vacation leave. So my question would be what is your opinion about me asking through e-mail today about higher pay and the leave and a benefits package. He told me he had to go because they were busy so I couldn't ask any more questions at the time.
I'd ask him through email, so that way you have it all in writing. Best of luck!!
