Easter: Cakes and traditional recipes

For some, Easter has its own traditions. 

Despite hot cross buns being available all year round, they never really taste the same as they do at Easter and they certainly never taste as good as when you make them yourself.  Eating fish on Good Friday and Simnel cake (originally made for Mothering Sunday), is often made using eleven balls of marizipan around the edge to represent the twelve apostles, excluding Judas.
