This is a rant. Yesterday, when it stotted down on and off all day, I dashed out during one of the brief dry spells for my paper and decided to have some cake from the nice coffee shop at the bottom of my street. I don’t eat in there often as it is ridiculously close to home but they do have nice home made goodies. I chose a piece of fresh cream victoria sandwich and, for later (honest, it’s still in the kitchen) a coffee sandwich. Not only were the slices miniscule but the cost for the two was £4.50. For takeaway! I could have bought a whole posh cake from M&S or Sainsbury’s for that, never mind making one myself. They were cutting 10 or 12 slices from a double height 8″ cake which, even with my dodgy arithmetic, works out at £22 – £25 per cake.
