Taste test notes
u0026#149; Untoasted bun has attractive appearance attractive with good size dome, even cross and glaze is evident. However, fruit pieces are quite small (overmixed so fruit is broken) and unevenly distributed.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Little spice aroma or taste.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Texture becomes quite doughy on eating.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Glaze disappears when toasted, no real spice flavour, cross is crunchy, dry and needs butter.u003cbru003e
