This Easter we plan to support local businesses while feeding our faces with these gorgeous creations.
As it’s one of our (many) guilty pleasures, we’re pleased to see that the Creme Egg features heavily, with it appearing in the centre of brownies, cookies and former MasterChef contestant and Locker Hyndland chef David Hetherington’s new invention, the brookie.

3. Lil' chick eggs
We feel a bit guilty about noshing these cute little chickadees, which are full of marshmallow crispies and made by Chocolatia in Perth. Not THAT guilty though. www.chocolatia.co.uk Photo: Contributed
4. Giant hot cross buns
We've never seen a bun so glossy as the giant batches from The Riverside Bakehouse, Duns. If you can't make it along, they're doing delivery within Berwickshire. www.riversidebakehouse.co.uk Photo: Contributed
