I think we need a much better image in order to be of any assistance to you.  :-\

It is slightly out of focus.  We really need a bit more of the certificate to compare writing.

I agree it looks like baker.

Yes, the 'b' looks like the 'b' in banns, and the last two letters look like the 'er' in 'driver' on the lower line.

Do you have census records for this person? Were they a baker in any of those records?
