Traditionalists might be shaking in their boots, but the alternative bun selections that dominate the bakery aisles are pretty hard to refuse.
There’s certainly something for everyone with familiar cake flavours now available in hot cross bun form (we’re looking at you red velvet and lemon drizzle), as well as brand new combinations that sound pretty tempting.
