LET’S NOT FORGET THE EGGS
What’s an Easter without a selection of chocolate Easter eggs?
After tasting the hot cross buns, we asked the Capsicum Culinary Studio tasting team to put a selection of Easter eggs to the taste test. We’d purchased a selection available from the five big retailers. This wasn’ ta comparison as they were all different.
