Swiss bun from Wenzel's Bakery

Wenzel's bakery is a popular bakery in the North East of London.
At first I thought they were German from the name but it turns out to be Jewish after talking to the staff.
The staff was knowledgeable about the bakery items which was really impressive in this day and age.
Browsing the bakery items, I was impressed at the selection as they had your regular iced doughnuts, yum yums, London Cheesecakes, Swiss buns, Belgian Buns etc as well as fancy bakery items such as cronuts.
I really appreciate they call the Swiss buns by their proper name even though you can call them iced buns or iced fingers so I ended up getting one.
By default,  Swiss buns are topped with white icing but that day it was yellow and checking up on them another day it was white.
For the sake of the photo, white would have been better and more traditional.
I didn't have any expectations for Wenzels because it looked like another fancy bakery but their Swiss bun which cost 80p was surprisingly good.
It had a nice chew topped with a balanced layer of icing.
Personally I didn't like the yellow colour but that was the only complaint.
Will be trying the yummies next and it's good to see they offer Belgian buns, Swiss buns, plain sugar donuts, London cheesecakes and fancies.
In the end, I got another Swiss bun which was white from the branch in Angel but they grasped the bun with the tongs hence the marks otherwise picture perfect.
