- 25 minutes 22 secondsNovelty Hot Cross Buns āļø
Only weeks before the Easter of 2025 and some crazy purveyors are still to present their buns for the season.
No matter, the LVMH's of suburban Australia's baking culture have stepped in predictably early to have their annual crack at keeping it interesting.
The Buns
- Biscoff flavour (Woolworths)
- Wagon Wheel flavour (Coles)
- Rocky Road flavour (found in Aldi by Slice Tracey)
Blind Tests
Kitty's are courtesy of the lovely people in Aotearoa.
Compare and Contrast!
NB: Aware that it's spelled "Liquorice" however the above spelling is from the brands.
