Whether it’s a nostalgic party snack or just a craving for an Aussie bakery favourite, using pre-made brioche is a fun shortcut to finger bun heaven.

Mascarpone helps to stabilise the whipped cream so it stays firm and fresh for much longer than usual. 🌟

Four days in the city that divides travellers. 🪽 Do you love it or hate it?
