Theatre slang for a paltry, barely-worth-it salary — the kind of pay that covers little more than snacks. If an actor describes their wages as 'coffee and cakes,' they're being wryly self-deprecating about the gap between artistic passion and financial reward. The phrase captures the well-known reality of life in the performing arts: huge effort, great experience, terrible money. It's used with weary humour rather than genuine bitterness, and belongs to the long tradition of theatre folk laughing at their own financial predicament.
