One a penny, two a penny…Bel Café’s hot cross buns have arrived

Starting this week, hot cross buns will be available individually for $2.80, as well as by the half dozen ($16.80) and dozen ($33.60). To avoid disappointment we encourage pre-ordering online at www.belcafe.com and the Bel Café team will have them packaged ready for pick up.

New for the Easter season are delicate yet scrumptious Religieuse, a traditional French pastry named after the nuns that they resemble. Crafted from two choux puffs filled with either a whipped dark chocolate and orange Valrhona ganache or calamansi crème finished with a white chocolate ganache; each variation is also topped with a beautiful Valrhona chocolate décor. Priced at $6.20 and available daily from March 23 to April 6.

For those looking for a special treat to take away for family or friends, the beautifully packaged pastel-coloured Easter themed marshmallows ($8) can be found on our retail wall and they come in a variety of flavours: lime, blackcurrant and raspberry and make a soft, bouncy treat for children and adults, from March 23 to April 6.
