Trial and Error: The hot cross bun round-up

The taste test

George was the Simon Cowell of hot cross buns, already going in not expecting to like any of the buns.

Emma, our resident greenie, was hoping to fall in love with the organic option but was unknowingly quoted as saying it tasted like "nothing special".

Mac, the bargain-huntsman of the panel, kept the group grounded, always weighing up the price over quality and taste.

The final verdict

The most expensive chocolate option was on target to be the clear winner but in the end was overthrown by an unlikely opponent.
