How much am I supposed to tip the baker in this situation...?

You're cake is almost 1000$ whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

damn son.

anything over 100 seems to be acceptable. - I didn't tip my baker though.

...Now I want a piece of THAT cake! Holy cow!

$50 to driver...?

I think for setup, 75-100.

And you can't tell people how to answer you.....

Oh no, not for just one cake! The cost is for a one of a kind Harry Potter grooms cake with a lot of details, Brides specialty Jane Austen inspired vintage looking cupcakes with vintage lace wrappers (11 dozen), 4 dozen cookies, cupcake stand, grooms cake stand, etc.

Wow I bet that cake is going to be outstanding. I'd say $100 would be appropriate.

I need pictures of the Jane Austen's cupcakes immediately.

50 to 100 sounds good to me

Bride, Groom, and Bakers all brainstormed and pulled ideas from some of these Pinterest pics. Ours will not be identical. I can't wait to see how it turns out. We have sketches of the grooms cake, just don't have them scanned to computer.

Another pinterest inspiration pic..

Will definitely have pretty vintage looking teacups and saucers with gold trim

Technically on 15% you're looking at 150- I would do no less than 100$. More if you can and are willing to do so and you feel it's warranted.

One more...

Damn girl are those gorgeous! I second Jo and would do between $100-150 for the tip

Wait I'm confused. I thought you only had to tip people if they didn't own the business. I would've thought that since they own the business and are doing the delivery/setup themselves, they wouldn't get the usual 15 percent, just like a $50 thank you. Is that wrong?

Does the same thing apply to photography, videography, planners, etc.? I just assumed since they owned their own businesses, they didn't get the whole 15-25% standard tip the photographer's assistant, waiter, etc. would get. (sorry don't mean to hijack the thread)

Damn I would love to see pictures of this cake

I thought the same as Carrie. I wasn't planning on tipping my baker since she is the owner but I would not want to be rude! https://www.theknot.com/content/wedding-vendor-tipping-cheat-sheet

I don't plan on tipping vendors that own their own company. They set their prices. There are exceptions like if they go above and beyond their duties like staying later for some reason but for the most part, I plan on tipping my servers, bartenders, and the cleaning team from the venue

We're planning on 10% for our baker because ours is very basic and doesn't take a lot of setup, but she's still transporting a cake. If you've ever done that, it's a logistical and driving nightmare, so I want to give a thank you for getting our beautiful cake there in one piece! With all you're asking, I'd definitely tip closer to 15%.

I would give each of the people delivering it $10, if they were not owners. If owners, nothinmg
