Seasonal treats
We stopped by Sweetish Hill Bakery to catch some more of those perfect hot-cross buns before the season’s over. I say that they’re perfect, because they are: fresh flour, fresh spices, the perfect ratio of currants to dough, and that perfect cross of confectioner’s sugar icing hand-drawn on the glazed top of the bun. And, as this banner proclaims, Sweetish Hill is offering chocolate-dipped strawberries. How they compare with those of Lammes Candies, also available this week, I don’t know, since I like strawberries unadorned and chocolate pretty much the same way. Chocolate strawberries tend to reappear during the year (Valentine’s season is usually one of those times), but hot-cross buns don’t.
