They came straight up to me and said "No tip?" when it was pretty obvious that I was running around preoccupied with 10 other things.

My cake was decorated with fresh flowers by my florist, not Taipan (they wanted to charge $1 for each pound of cake for the flower decoration and there was no guarantee I'd get what I requested for).Īt delivery, there were two corners missing on one of the layers - I have no idea how they can do that since it was carried inside a large box. We chose a simple octagonal fruit cake and had them change the coloring of the frosting (it was yellow in the picture). They also charge by the pound, which is a foreign concept to me because I have no clue what a 1lb vs 5lbs cake looks like! Taipan Bakery only had a few selections in terms of wedding cakes they cannot make anything that they don't offer (ie: you cannot bring in a picture and tell them to make something similar).
