What's On tells you where to pick up Hot Cross Buns for Maundy Thursday and marzipan eggs for Easter

Delicate flowers, chirping birds and chicks sneek out of egg shells symbolising life, marking the arrival of Easter Sunday. The festivities are the culmination of a week of solemn services that celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Like the services, even the Hot Cross Buns and Easter eggs are a symbol of Jesus' life. While the former signifies the crucifixion and is usually eaten on Maundy Thursday, the latter celebrates new life.

Cora Soares, a resident of Orlem Malad (W), has been making Easter eggs for the last 10 years. She specialises in marzipan eggs and decorates them with sugarcraft flowers, which are mostly used to decorate wedding cakes.
