Personally, I’m just glad we’ve passed the lockdowns of the past few Easters and I’m not having to attempt to make my own hot cross buns ever again!
Here is our carefully curated guide on where to get the best hot cross buns this year. And we’re not talking about just your standard run of the mill buns too, we’ve got hot cross cinnamon scrolls, spiced fruit donuts and our personal favourite, chocolate chip hot cross buns. Controversial…I did include Bakers Delight but for $12 for 6 you really can’t go wrong.
