With Easter just around the corner I have been on the hunt again for some great Easter ideas. Many of these you can see on our Pinterest page, click here if you want to have a nosey. For me every celebration has it’s essential things and if those things are missing I find myself questioning whether that celebration ever really happened. For example Christmas needs decorations and family, birthdays must have a cake and for Easter it is Hot Cross Buns (and maybe Easter eggs). I love a good Hot Cross Bun. The aroma of the spices bring back happy childhood memories and all the good feelings of being on holiday – so you can imagine my excitement when I saw all these wonderful ideas that take Hot Cross Buns beyond the toast then butter.

This is a great way to use up any leftover Hot Cross Buns after Easter. But I’m not sure I can wait that long. Definitely another ‘must try’.
