I say for not having to spend a day making dough and fillings,
I'll just pay for a danish. I don't want 2 dozen danishes, either,
which I assume a recipe would make. Okay, a dozen. Whatever.
Aside from the fact that I don't see ordering danish online, I can
for sure see why they aren't 45 cents. If I was somewhere and,
oddly, decided I wanted a danish, I'd fork over the 2 bucks.

People who make food for sale have more overhead than someone
in their home kitchen. What you can make something for at home
doesn't usually compare to what you are charged if someone else
makes it, just look at restaurant prices.
