I just got a $40.00 tip!!! I delivered my graduation cake and because I am just starting out I am undercharging. I charged $45 for the cake and when i got home I looked at the check and it was for $85. I called the client and she said it was just her way of saying thank-you. I feel so good now!! Not so much for the extra money (although that's nice) but becasue they liked my work enough to show their appreciation.

Made my day!!!

Looking at your cakes, I can see why they tipped you so much. You are way undercharging. You are very talented. Congratulations!

You know what...someone just did the same thing for me! Blew me away. I get some tips sometimes, but this one was wayyyyyyyy more than I expected. And I tend to undercharge too and I've been doing this for about 3yrs. I just still feel brand new especially since I have no real training and I'm feeling my way through. I'm sure you deserve every bit of the gracious tip!! Way to go!! Great work does pay off...not just monetarily but spiritually too. It's feels so good to the spirit icon_wink.gif
