Easter<br />

Easter Feast<br />

From hot cross donuts and other sweet treats,<br />

to how to cook the perfect Easter Sunday<br />

lunch, we speak to the people in the know<br />

when it comes to delicious treats this Easter<br />

Hot Cross Donuts are top of the menu at George’s Bakery for<br />

Easter this year! They have all of the spice and fruit of a normal<br />

hot cross bun but are deep fried instead of toasted and rolled<br />

in spiced sugar and filled with apricot jam. A traditional Easter<br />

favourite at George’s stall, they were one of his first creations<br />

when he started markets in spring 2015. They will be available<br />

from 25th <strong>March</strong> - 15th April with limited supply, so be sure to<br />

be at the market early!<br />

Other Easter bakes will include Ely Sloe Gin with cherry and<br />

chocolate simnel cake, the gooey Crème Egg brownies and<br />

seasonal quiches will include lamb, pea and mint quiche and<br />

asparagus, pea, broad bean and ricotta quiche.<br />

Hot Cross Donuts<br />

More notable bakes to look for include cronuts in salted caramel,<br />

chocolate hazelnut and other seasonal flavours, plus George’s<br />

most popular cakes: the towering salted caramel layer cake,<br />

maple syrup and bacon cake and the indulgent chocolate cookie<br />

dough cake.<br />

George’s stall will be at Ely and St.Ives Farmers Markets as well<br />

as Cambridge market every Sunday.<br />

Chocolat Chocolat<br />

“We love Easter, and so do our customers” says Isabelle Chappell<br />

Chocolatier and owner of Cambridge’s very own Chocolat<br />

Chocolat, on St Andrews’s Street, Cambridge.<br />

Although it’s a small shop inside you will find an enormous<br />

range of chocolate to suit all tastes and budgets from pocket<br />

money treats to hampers perfect for sharing. This Easter will be<br />

no different and Isabelle is planning to offer one of the widest<br />

ranges of Easter treats in Cambridgeshire.<br />

“We will be making our own Easter eggs plaques again this year<br />

because our customers loved them so much, some of them have<br />

already popped in to the shop and ordered theirs already” said<br />

Isabelle, explaining that the plaques are handmade from luxury<br />

chocolate and can be customised with your favourite toppings or<br />

can even have a hand written message piped in chocolate.<br />

There will also be a wide range of Easter eggs all made with the<br />

finest Belgian chocolate, starting from under a £1, there will be a<br />

tasty Easter gift to suit all.<br />

Isabelle is determined to look after every customer and for<br />

the last few years she has stocked a range of Easter treats<br />

suitable for those with dietary needs and unable to share normal<br />

chocolate eggs. Chocolat Chocolat will be stocking a wide range<br />

of specialist Easter treats: sugar free, dairy free, gluten free and<br />

nut free perfect for those who need to avoid specific ingredients,<br />

but still love the taste of luxury chocolate.<br />

The shop will also be running chocolate courses over the Easter<br />

weekend, when budding chocolatiers will be able to learn how to<br />

make handmade truffles spending over two hours learning from<br />

an expert just easy it is to make luxury chocolates at home.<br />

At Chocolat Chocolat Easter comes in all shapes and sizes, but<br />

one thing is sure: it will be full of chocolatey fun.<br />
