Sweet cinnamon buns

It might be a coiled cinnamon bun sprinkled with icing sugar, or a fat Boston bun generously iced with vanilla-coconut frosting; a rhubarb twist or chocolate scroll will do very nicely too. And for a sweet treat that will induce all sort of nostalgia, it’s got to be the finger bun. Time to bake.
