About this word search

Every Kiwi baking tin has its legends. Fly cemetery is the nickname for a pastry slice packed with currants, a tan square is a caramel slice with a crumbly base and topping, and hokey pokey biscuits get their crunch from golden syrup. Neenish tarts, with their half-and-half icing, and cream buns belong to the old-fashioned tearoom.

This grid is eighteen by eighteen and words can run in all eight directions, backwards included. Hokey pokey biscuits is the longest with eighteen letters and stretches from one edge to the other. Yo-yos becomes YOYOS in the grid, five letters and easy to lose. Ginger turns up in ginger crunch and ginger kisses, and square in custard square and tan square, so check which one you have circled. The Z of Anzac biscuits appears only once.

Use it at a bake sale or a church morning tea: a cup of tea and a sheet for each table. Whoever finishes first gets the last lamington.
