Thanks for the fantastic photo Julie. I think the custard is going to be difficult.  Mine were not dry at all yesterday,  but were today.  I think that like all buns they are best eaten on the day they are baked. DH had one toasted for breakfast and liked it , but then he gobbled down one at tea time and said it wasn't dry.  He had smothered it in custard.

Chookie, I agree, you really need a good amount of the custard, then it's really good.  I don't think it's a hassle to do the custard in a saucepan either, whatever works best I think. 

Thanks Cookie and Cornish.

Thanks so much for this recipe chookie.This is a much loved cake. We usually only have this once a year when we buy it from the local Lutheran Church fete, (November), now it going to be an Easter treat as well. Thanks again.

Ooh i must have missed this when it was first posted - I looove bee sting! Looking for cake inspiration but this is probably a bit fiddly for today. Did anyone try halving this recipe, and if so - did it work out ok?
When I lived in Adelaide, any trip through the hills was not complete without a pit stop to Hahndorf bakery for some bienenstich!

DD, you could make 1/2 recipe,   As they are best eaten when fresh.   That said,  they were nice toasted.

Ooh Yummy! Thanks for this recipes. Bee Stings are one of my downfalls when I go into a bakery. I'm sure these will be much nicer though.
