What makes Buns of Joy so special

You’ve never tried buns like these before!

Handmade in small batches to our unique recipe that took two years to develop, we use organic butter for an authentic and wonderful flavour that only butter can bring to baking.  These are the definition of pillowy and light, with an irresistible squishy texture that makes them impossible to put down.

How should I store my buns once they arrive?

Upon arrival, we recommend keeping your buns in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. Simply pop them in an airtight container to keep them moist and delicious.

How long do the buns stay fresh after they arrive?

Our buns are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of arrival for optimal freshness. However, if stored properly in an airtight container in a cool place, they can last up to a week without compromising taste or quality. They might just need a little warm-up in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or pop in the oven for a few minutes to make them squishy again.
