Hot Cross Buns and Cards

I think I made myself sick eating one and a half of these this evening.



(they're not quite as yellow as this, my light source was still set to 'daylight' and it's night now) I grew up having the cross iced on rather than as a flour paste and I definitely still prefer it that way.

Hazel drew this to go on the front of her Grandad's 89th birthday card. Apparently it's a whole lot of little bears.



She's been working on her name for almost a month now - the urge to do it and all the letters came within about three days, now she's refining it. The E has the right number of bars on it (almost as opposed to about 8) and it's all in a line. The Z still needs to come in the middle but hey, work in progress right? I adore the round little faces with their big eyes and happy smiles. She says she can't draw sad faces and I figure that's a good thing.
