After Easter Online bargains


Problem
What can I buy online after Easter? Given the relentless rain! I'll let my fingers do the travelling. The goods can travel to me.

Answers
Waitrose is offering not just plain hot cross buns but: berry and cherry; cinnamon; lemon; orange; wholemeal.

Tesco had a whole range of interesting items. Some were only available for delivery during the Easter period. But the pictures were still up.

Others appeared to be still available. I like the Easter cheesecake with the silhouette of a rabbit in connamon, with a white chocolate button for the tail.

You could also buy a white iced decorate it yourself cake and make this sort of design or anything else you fancy, using a paper cut out to create your own simple decoration scattering any contrasting colour on top. It would need to stick and not blow away. If you had a white icing top, with no marzipan underneath, you could compensate by buying yellow marzipan, rolling it out and cutting your own design. Add seasonal decorations, simple flowers or leaves, or order an edible photo - the cheapest ones deigned for cupcakes are small, but stick one in the middle of a round cake, or make a repeating pattern of the photo.
