Cake Bakery Tips?
The bakery we're using has added a service charge of 10.5% to our estimate. I asked about it as I've never heard of tipping a bakery before and was told it was for the people who do the baking/decorating. Bakery staff said I could have it taken off the contract, but maybe I'm just out of touch and tipping the cake bakery really is the norm and worried if I did ask to have the amount taken out of the contract, we might not get the best work!! We are in SoCal (Santa Barbara) and the bakery we're using is mainly known for cupcakes but also do event cakes. Thanks for any input!
