- Large groups are easily accommodated, though be warned, a 'cakeage' fee of $1.50 per head will be charged to birthday revellers.
- 2016 January 13, Kim Severson, “Restaurants Counter Outside Cakes With Cakeage Fees”, in The New York Times:
- "[r]estaurants often charge customers to cut and plate the cake. Sometimes they add a scoop of ice cream. The practice has come to be called cakeage. It’s a play on corkage, the fee a restaurant levies to open a bottle of wine brought by the customer."
