Hot Cross Buns with Apricot and Pear

Yeah! Easter is here. I love that Easter gives you an excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast! Thanks to my new little mate, the Easter bunny with be visiting and hiding chocolate all over the place. Anyway, enough about chocolate. Hot cross buns also equals Easter and yumminess! I say the more fruit the better. If you would like to eat these buns after Easter, try piping a circle instead of a cross.....enjoy the Easter break and these fruity buns

Almond, Orange and Chocolate Cake

Well, yes. It seems I have a problem...It's called cake. I am loving a little cake with a warm cup of tea these days. Never in my life have I loved cake so much! I just can't resist. The cake above is very rich a little cream is a good accompaniment.
