Quoting from Wikipedia:

Bienenstich or "Bee sting cake" is a German dessert made of a sweet yeast dough with a baked-on topping of caramelized almonds and filled with a vanilla custard, Buttercream or cream.[1][2][3]
The cake may have earned its name from its honey topping: according to one legend, a bee was attracted to it, and the baker who invented the cake was stung.[4]
Another source cites a legend of German bakers from the 15th century who lobbed beehives at raiders from a neighboring village, successfully repelling them, and celebrated later by baking a version of this cake named after their efforts.[5]

Bonsai,  thanks for that,  very interesting.  Anni Smithers, whose recipe I have adapted was actually stung by the bees in her new hive.  She says that these bun are much nicer than that experience.

Okay, the buns are out the oven and look great. Have put them on a rack to cool.  Thought I'd check the custard, it's really cold, but very runny.  I even added a bit more cornflour and less milk like you advised, so I tipped it into a non-stick saucepan and whisked it over med-high heat and in no time it had thickened up really well.  Have now put it back into a bowl and put in the fridge to chill. Just got to wait now to fill.  ;D

Ha LOL, you lot!  :D

After thickening the custard on the stove top and chilling, I found it was too thick  :-))  Wouldn't pipe into the buns, so I ended up cutting them in half and spreading the custard on that way.  The problem was that I lost some of the custard with fiddling around with it too much, and found there wasn't enough to give a good coating so we found them a little dry, would have been fine with more custard.  

This is totally my fault, I really need to make them again I think.  Also I would just cook and thicken the custard in a saucepan, it wouldn't take long and I could stop when thick enough IYKWIM.

I did enjoy making them though. Thanks Chookie.  :)
