Taste test notes
u0026#149; Little fruit so flavour not balanced. It's more like a fluffy bread roll but not a hot cross bun for flavour, aroma and texture.u003cbru003e u0026#149; It's better toasted with more fruit and more evenly distributed so there's better flavour balance. Fluffy structure which collapses on eating.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Very plump, large fluffy bun.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Can't smell spice, even less smell when toasted.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Very fluffy texture. When toasted still fluffy and bit dry.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Lacking in fruit and spice flavour.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Cross is wonky. More like a bread with mixed fruits. Plump fruits, no spice or flavour.u003cbru003e
