@Foodietweaker76 proved her dough overnight so is a lovely late entry... Grace says, "I took a day off from the kitchen baking yesterday to take out a friend who has been having anxiety after being mugged a few weeks back. We spend the day at Borough Market and the surrounding area, eating & drinking Sangria to our hearts delight 😃 A weekend is not a weekend without me baking anything. I got a copy of BREADSONG @kittytaitbaker..." read on via her Instagram page.

From @bakeembakes who says... "Cran you believe how tasty these Chelsea buns look?! I have a white choco-lot of love for these treats! Classic Chelsea buns with cranberries, drizzled with white chocolate and topped with dried strawberry 👏 " Lady Sophie Windsor says... "they look puffy, irresistible and generous and splendid." Find @bakeembakes on Instagram.

Joanna Chin says... "Made to a traditional Chelsea Bun recipe, my entry is adorned with edible flowers and silver leaf to celebrate Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee. Full of plump golden raisins and and mixed spices from the Commonwealth, this summery take on this British classic tastes as good as it looks!" John Shepherd of Partridges says... “It certainly looks fit for a Queen, in fact, I think we should send one of these to Her Majesty."

A reel has arrived from Marilyne, she says... "Let me tell you why my Chelsea buns are special! 💫 First they are made with my very special brioche dough (if you ever got the chance to order/try my brioche you would definitely know what I am talking about 🤩) Second they are filled with homemade sweetened butter (I will share the recipe soon!) Loads of sugar, cinnamon, mixed nuts and currants. And wait this is not all! Once out of the oven they were brushed with... read on @bakeandfeast

From @secret.baker.essex who says... "Chelsea Buns, proved, baked and drizzled with icing, ready to tear off and eat. My first attempt making these for a bank holiday family treat and they tasted delicious 😋 #Buns."

From Olives Et Al who says... "It took us 18 years to perfect our Proper Basil & Pine Nut recipe. Just about as close as you can get to a real Ligurian Pesto alla Genovese. Just the ticket to make these Pesto Chelsea Buns from our chum Mark Lloyd. Works a treat on pasta, chicken, roasted veg too. Turned out nice again. 🤩" Find @olviesetal on Instagram

@lizzie_rose1230 has made these Next Level Chelsea Buns from @the_orangebakery and says... "And believe me they are next level!" Jane Asher says... "Sometimes you just want a Chelsea Bun to be simple, beautiful and unbearably tempting. The glorious colour of the baked outsides; the pale, lightly textured insides and the generous topping of fruit all make for a fabulous, perfect-looking result. They’re crying out to be torn apart and eaten with a cup of coffee."

Former World Chelsea Bun Awards winner and GBBO Contestant 2018 Karen Wright says... "My favourite yeasty bake, a Chelsea Bun. These are full of my favourite flavours including almonds, marzipan and cherries, think cherry bakewell! The red blobs are not all glacé cherries. Some are marzipan balls coloured red. Entering into the spirit of #worldchelseabunawards in the adult section #chelseabuns #bakewell #marzipan #colourfulbakes"

@ourchelseakitchen says..."These buns are spiced with a pumpkin spice blend, filled with mini chocolate chips, glazed with a brown sugar milk syrup and topped off with a maple cream cheese icing. I brought them into the office after their photo shoot this morning and my colleagues will vouch for the deliciousness! Yes, I am an American in Chelsea 😅 thanks for hosting, @partridgesfoods and always pleased to support @childrensurgeryfoundation."

Sharon Witham says..."My Chelsea buns were made using the best ingredients I could find locally, using eggs from my neighbour, and organic gluten free flour with mixed spice and orange peel. They are a family favourite at Easter."

@cupofbavarois says... "Chelsea buns with raisins, dates and walnuts, for a change." Lady Sophie Windsor says... "a majestic offering".

Lexie, the Founder of Manuka Direct, has entered The World Chelsea Bun Awards for three year's running and says... "This year’s Manuka Drizzled Chelsea Bun entry for Partridges’ highly prestigious World Chelsea Bun Awards. We’re up against esteemed master bakers so it’s just a bit of delicious manuka summer fun in aid of @childrensurgeryfoundation . Oops, all gone! 🍯 🧁."

Sophie Rushton-Smith (Dr), and Great Taste Judge says..."Easter cinnamon & sultana Chelsea buns - birthchild of the hot cross bun and cinnamon swirl." Sophie also gives us the full recipe and cooking method on her Instagram page @thecornerplot

Laurice is from California and says... "May Bake #5 - Sticky Spiced Orange Chelsea Buns (Series 9) Notes: I just love saying “Chelsea buns” in a British accent • These are very cinnamon roll-esque but with all the spices baked into the dough • Candying orange peel was new for me and was the most laborious part • Came out pretty good (dough’s a little bit tough) - tastes best warm and of course it’s the orange glaze for me 🍊."

This is the third time @stott5695 entered The World Chelsea Bun Awards and says... "This year I went for Chelsea buns with sultanas, apricot and cherries. This is the 3rd year I've taken part as I enjoy the excuse to make and eat Chelsea Buns."

From @nordiclaura, she says... "Here are my baklava Chelsea buns for the adult catagory in the #worldchelseabunawards. They are full of walnuts, cashews and pistachio nuts with the traditional cinnamon, sugar and butter. To keep with baklava theme they have a delicious honey glaze. I've got everything crossed."

From @nicoleedeyfood, Nicole says... "Chelsea bun time! Gluten free of course, ready to kick off the bank holiday with one of these. I still can’t get over how good the texture is, filled with apricots, cranberries, sultanas, lemon curd and orange zest glazed in a orange icing."

Clare says... 😍 Find @clareniamh on Instagram.

@nebosuke_bake says... "Another one from #BakeOffJapan – Chelsea buns! It was one of the technical challenges and the recipe was briefly on screen, so I made them while repeatedly pausing and rewinding. The recipe is perfect – authentic and delicious. I soaked the raisins in a bit of Cointreau for added goodness. That two and half hour time limit is a bit optimistic though!" See @nebosuke_bake on Instagram

From @the_baking_nanna, she says... "Did you know The World Chelsea Bun Awards Online Bake-Off Competition is open 🤩Guest judges this year include Actress and Cake Expert Jane Asher and there are great prizes to be won."
