To think this isn't great for £55?

We ordered 20 cupcakes from a local cake shop for my child's 6th birthday to give to her friends at the end of the day at school. Paid when ordering (no images available or book to choose from and the staff member serving just told us to go online to look at examples on their social media profile, but we were in a queue and didn't even have WiFi). Picked them up today. I'm not going to complain and I'm sure they're going to taste nice but at £55 for 20 of these, were my expectations not reasonable?

I’d say that’s the going rate. Cupcakes are expensive. I wouldn’t buy them for a child’s party because I don’t think they would be appreciated by the littles.

Individual cakes are so easy to make. You just need to find a good recipe that’s a little creative with toppings. My Mum wasn’t a great cook or baker but she made some amazing cakes when I was little. She just had a go!
