	Description:		It brings a whole new meaning to golden pastry, when you are actually talking about a pie with 23 karat gold flakes around the crust, a Wagyu beef filling and gravy made from expensive wine. That pie has sold for $260 on Trade Me, with all proceeds going to charity. The Baker Tirau came up with the expensive pie in honour of a visit from a competitive eater from Australia, and a few leftover pies sparked the idea of a fundraiser. The Baker Tirau owner Shane Kearns spoke to Lisa Owen.
