This week, Sandi set Noel a fiendishly difficult word puzzle that would test his intelligence beyond measure: a riddle-drawing of an angry bread roll in the blazing sunshine. A hint was needed.
“So it’s a bun, and he’s angry, and it’s really hot”, she prompted.
Noel shot back with laser wit: “Toad in the hole.”
10/10 for effort Noel, but better luck next time. Speaking of, here’s our baking riddles or… hot crossword buns.
- Richard suffers from acne.
- Frog in its entirety?
- A borrower’s favourite biscuit.
- This prestigious school needs a clean.
- Almost the opposite of hell freezing over.
- This afternoon tea treat vanishes as soon as you say it.
- Which kind of tart is never badly baked?
- A drunk baby’s favourite cake?
As baffled as Noel? Peep below for the answers.
