You typically don't tip the proprietor of their own businesses. If it was delivered I would likely tip the driver, but it would be for the delivery, not the cake. chopsuey on "Do you tip a baker?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-a-baker#post-2048281 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:00:46 +0000 chopsuey 2048281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've always picked cakes up and have never tipped! I tipped when they delivered my DD's 1st bday cake + cupcake favors though.

She started her own bakery about three years ago. We were her first wedding cake. mrs. bird on "Do you tip a baker?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-a-baker#post-2048168 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 19:38:50 +0000 mrs. bird 2048168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ is she delivering it? is it a friend baking it at home or is it a bakery?

I ordered a cake for the reveal from the woman who made our wedding cake. Obviously we tipped her for the wedding, but are we supposed to for a regular cake? I feel ridiculous asking, but honestly have no idea if it's expected. Thoughts?
