I found a god send in gymnema extract. It's a leaf and I use it in the "tincture" form. I mix a few drops with water and drink it and it makes sugar have no taste for a couple hours. It tastes mildly dreadful IMHO, so have plenty of water to wash it down. (It's like completely unsweetened licorice). But I struggle with impulse control especially around sugar and that has really helped me when I'm having a craving and I really want to fight the impulse. Sugar granules themselves literally taste like sand after a few drops of the gymnema stuff. So eating sweets is not even worth it. And usually by the time the stuff has worn off, the craving is gone. Someone on Reddit told me about it when I was bemoaning my own sugar addiction.
I'm not off sugar completely, I don't know that I want to be. Just to cut back to a more moderate amount. And that helps when my willpower is feeling extra challenged.
Edit to add link: This one is the one I tried off Amazon.
I'm sorry to say this, but working in a bakery may not be right for you. What your describing is addictive behavior. You are using food/sugar to coup with stress.
I know this is probably your dream, but is it worth the damage you are doing to your health? You have a long life ahead of you. Maybe its just not something you can do right now, not to say you couldn't manage it in the future after you break free from this.
Sorry to ask tough questions, but you need to consider a change. Getting out of the bakery will make this way easier, your are fighting against your unconscious mind everyday because you have surrounded yourself with calorie gold that your brain wants.
