“Our family absolutely loved the Easter Slice, the marzipan middle made it extra yummy. My family said they prefered it to the usual hot cross buns, so thank you for that recipe. ”

Mini Eggs are a real favourite nesting nicely on these chocolate cupcakes - foiled eggs, mini cream eggs or maltesers also work well. Deb the Bread
