The hot cross buns here come in a pack of six, and are crafted using the traditional English recipe that ensures they are authentic as they get. The result is a soft, fluffy and slightly dense bun (thanks to the use of premium quality butter) that is studded with spices and dried fruits such as sultanas and currants. With each pack you order, the bakery will also be donating SG$1 to the Breast Cancer Foundation. How’s that for ultimate indulgence? Order here.
