I buy them at Backers on South Temple. I don't always love everything Backers does even though it's a total Salt Lake institution. But their hot cross buns are tasty treats--really yeasty and current-y and all the things a hot cross bun should be.
So yes. I'll eat them until Easter because why should other religions have all the fun?
I know there are better cakes around than Backers--the chocolate cake at Bakers de Normandy is the best--but I still like to go in and buy a little flowery cake with raspberry filling and eat it mostly by myself.
ReplyDeleteSo much sugar! So much joy.
I am so pathetic that I bought a one-layer white cake with coconut sprinkled on the white frosting at Smith's. And I thought it was yummy. I find that my taste buds are non-discriminating when I stress eat!
ReplyDeleteGlad you can capitalize!
So, wait. Hot cross buns are like your Mormon Lent?
ReplyDeleteI can totally get behind that.
Thanks for dropping by my Link2Literacy blog. It always tickles me! I hope to meet you in person some day - are you working with aspiring writers this summer? I hope so. I understand that the week won't be held at BYU this year. How do I find info?
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm going to use my "seasons" blog to sign in so you'll know Link and Seasons are ME! :D
