At £3.50 for a fancy, the purveyor is surely hoping they don't.

well she's been in business since september and business is booming!
i know loads of people who have bought these as gifts for birthdays, new babys , xmas etc.
and they taste as good as they look.
the price is obviously reasonable enough for those buying!
so good luck to the lass!

No Im a Wicker, was your post supposed to be "ironic" / humourous ie "£1.50 - £3.50 a queen cake"...I dont get it ?

Awesome! £1.50 - £3.50 for something that Tesco sell for as little as 8.3p! (Source = here)

As a devoted avoider of Tesco, even I struggle to see how the good folk of Caithness are happy to pay a premium of 18 - 42 times for a non Tesco bun, when they wont pay a handful of percent more for non Tesco other things!

There again, such as complimentary chocolates or whatever, would most probably be priced the same. its the difference between 6 and half a dozen and quality
must come first.

No, it's the difference between 1 cupcake at £1.50, or half a dozen from Raymond MacDonald.

Fine you've made your point, you are very price concious when it comes to this item, obviously people differ from you and buy at the stated prices
as the percieve value, their choice.

your taking about the difference between a florists bouquet and a bunch of flowers off a filling station forecourt!
