I made these desserts at school and they’ve turned out ok. Quick and easy, perfect for a quick dessert!

It was very fun and exciting making these desserts. Recommended for both young and old, for both experienced and beginner chefs!

My sister and I had made rock buns at home, but my sister had put her buns on the wrong shelf and they were all burnt at the bottom! My sister was very disappointed.
