Heh. Despite the rest of my family disliking either peanut butter or chocolate spread, it's a combination I've enjoyed since I was old enough to make my own sandwiches.
The cakes are delightful, but I think I'd feel happier about the price if they were full-size sponge cakes, rather than a mouthful of food each. I'm told even American cupcakes are bigger than that.

The combination sounds like an old favorite of the kids on holiday-camp! They called it sandwich "treets" ( a brand-name for what now would have been called M&M's) and it was highly favorite with both kids and staff. (we usually eat open sandwiches in Holland and this ones made less mess while "closed") We used peanut butter and chocolate-cream for this. It brings back fond memories!

Yes, we usually eat 1 slice of bread with butter and a topping at the time. And besides what you think normal like ham and cheese we also have a range of sweet toppings just for us Dutch like chocolate-sprinklings and fruit or anise-tasting sprinklings called "muisjes" (=little mouses translated) and of course "normal" things like jam and peanut butter. Sandwiches like the English eat we keep for special occasions or when we eat finger-food instead with fork and knife. (Or to take with you to school or job in a lunch-box). Each country has his own "eating habits" so I have US friends with whom it is in-polite to keep your knife in your hand when not cutting something. And living in Switzerland I used to have two hot (=cooked) meals with bread to clean your sauce as side-dish. And my siblings in England are used to see me eat a soft-boiled egg with a special egg-spoon instead of dipping in like they do, for that is custom in Holland to. Well, at least I do not eat with my fingers (tho I learned to do that proper on my travels!).
May I recommend Peggy Porschen's book about spectacular cake decorating? I actually have it, if you want a flick through - there are some very Rukhi creations in there! xxx

The cakes however look delightful and worth the money.

I'm very suspicious of anything "and chips" flavour crisps, considering that chips are fried potatoes - and so are crisps...

Perhaps you could make similar looking cakes and take them to Maelstrom instead? :D
