What was the original arrangement?
I agree, you should get a cut for each sale.
Are you the only people selling their products?

OP, without more specifics, if it's not a large rack, I'd ask for 15% and look into other products that their sales won't interfere with.
You really need to look at the legal and health aspect of this, for example if someone were to get sick from the baked goods your business would be sued and the 10% or what ever you got would not make up for what you would have to pay out, plus your insurance may not even cover it, which is something you may want to check into with your insurer.
