I'd agree with your assessment mart assuming it is just a plain fairy cake with perhaps some plain icing.

If the person making it has made an effort with icing, perhaps made some icing holly and icing red balls I'd go up to 75p. Although I'd probably prefer the taste of the cake without those things on, it is nice to think that someone has made the effort to made it look nice.

I have no idea how much they are going for. They're iced though. I had a couple earlier, and they're pretty good.

I would pay around 50p each I think.

How much would you pay it it wasn't for charity?

I find that question quite hard to answer as I don't think I would ever buy a fairy cake unless it was for charity. I would say that I would prefer the taste of and find it more filling to have a snickers than a fairy cake, and they are 35p from the vending machine, so it would be less than that.

I'm not even sure if i'd pay 25p for one. 20p I would probably do as it can be done with one coin and you don't have to mess around with change.

So really I didn't find it all that hard to answer.

30p for a non-charity home-baked fairy cake.

i certainly wouldnt go higher than 30p. i think 50p is increasing a fairy cake's utility beyond realistic confines to be honest. when i lived near lewisham there was a pair a little girls who lived in one of the flats who used to set up a table in the front garden and sell plastic cups of econopop and homemade fairycakes for 20p. it was quite a steep hill and they were two thirds of a way up it so it was quite a canny marketing strategy. the fairy cakes were excellent and 20p was just so much of a bargain that i would often stand and eat one in front of them, smiling with my mouth but inwardly thinking '20p? i am mugging you. mugging you. at your own invitation'

sausage roll, banana, apple, tescos healthy eating ricey- fruity- only- nominally- nourishingy snack bar thing. still hungry. might have to have some crisps.

I just went to a Bazaar and they were selling fairy cakes with one of those large chocolate drops with sprinkles on top (rainbow drops?) in the centre of a ring of smarties for 25p.

That's bang-on, competitive pricing. Savvy marketing skills from the fairy folk there.

applying rainbow drops and smarties though? thats pretty labour intensive. i dont know, id probably go to 30p for rainbow drops and smarties but im not sure the average buyer understands the real value of that kind of artisanship in these modern, mechanised times. and dont even lets start on little silver balls. that kind of shit is luxe. id pay premium for little silver balls. those motherfuckers are some fiddly motherfuckers.

I dunno man, sounds like their unit cost is going to be huge. I hope someone did the numbers, otherwise they're going to be making a loss on every cake. Ain't no amount of volume gonna dig you out of that.

Good news, everybody!

All cakes sold. The fairy cakes are the pinks ones there. Still don't know the price, but have enquired again.

Anyway. on another forum people were going on about how amazing the new season of Gavin and Stacey was, and I commented "I can see why they moved it to BBC1!" and I don't think anyone realised I was insulting it [Frown]

You could go home, drink some whiskey and play some xbox instead. I'm going to go and do the exciting Friday night activity of "cleaning the kitchen" but I can understand if you're not quite rock and roll enough to do that sort of thing yourself.

You'd probably have more fun having a few beers, playing some xbox and perhaps watching Jonathan Ross. He's always fantastic entertainment. Well worth the money.

I've just tidied the kitchen while your second podcast was downloading. I've just come back to get it on my phone and I'm going to go and cook while listening to you and Mikee entertain me.

let me know how you get on with that. I've had mixed feedback on the second one, some people saying it's better, some people saying it's less accessible.

I liked it. I thought perhaps the first one felt a bit more thought out and structured but I really enjoyed the what seemed like more spur of the moment banter that the second one had.

I also liked the music better. I have that track on the Demon Knight soundtrack because I'm pretty cool.
