A beloved British and Australian baked treat — a soft, slightly sweet bun split and filled with fresh whipped cream, and often jam. Cream buns are a staple of school tuck shops, bakery counters, and afternoon tea spreads across the UK and Australia. They hit that perfect zone between cake and bread, indulgent but not overly fancy. In some regions they're essentially identical to a cream puff or profiterole; in others they're closer to a filled white roll. Either way, they disappear fast.
She grabbed two cream buns from the bakery — one for the walk home and one for when she got there.
