Thanks to everyone who had a guess in our competition! The most entertaining thing was the reasoning and explanations – we loved that Dad (in true Dad fashion) had a formula to work out how much was in there (and he was pretty close!). Also loved Jason’s reasoning that “there must be at least $15 in there to make it worthwhile”, and Westy’s justification that “you should be able to buy at least 3-4 cupcakes”! (Westy: Cupcakes are only $1.75 each!)
But in the end, it was a late vote from Tim that came the closest, at $25.46. So congratulations Tim – your prize will be in the mail shortly! (As soon as you e-mail your address to me 
.

Wow, only $1.75 for a cupcake … you couldn’t make one for that!
There is a place a Coorparoo that is supposed to make “New York” style cupcakes and they sell them for $4.95!!
Perhaps Gerrod is buying “Brisbane” style cupcakes at that price?
