Happy Easter
Each Easter I draw a hot cross bun and any other Easter eggs I have been given

Here is this years hot cross bun.
Hot Cross Buns are part of Easter for me and my childhood in Australia and they come from a English tradition. They are spicey sweet buns with a cross on the top (made of flour and water usually) and are eaten on Good Friday.
I searched around a few local bakeries and bought three buns as I wanted to see their various interpretations. Usually they are sold in half dozen, but I bought single ones. I did not realize how traditional and picky I was, until I came to buy and draw them. It cannot have any strange additions (chocolate ? custard ? ) and HAS to have currants and if possible, peel. I chose to draw the one that was home baked by a friend Judy. It has a lovely glaze (secret recipe).
Last year on my blog I showed step by step of my hot cross bun as I drew it. http://www.alissaduke.com/2013/03/hot-cross-buns.html
