Hot cross buns were sold by London street-sellers to the cry of "Hot cross buns!" - just like in the rhyme, during the 1800s. This method of selling was meant to attract attention, and it worked. Today, hot cross buns are generally sold around Easter to celebrate the religious significance of the resurrection of Christ (hence the cross shape on the top).
Previous Answer: It was a donkey that carried Mary to the stable to give birth to baby Jesus. The cross on the bun represents a donkey as they have a cross in their fur.
It actually represents the cross on which Jesus died.
Hotcross buns are a holdover from ancient Babylon that a false Christianity adopted and adapted to its religious practices.
The cross on the bun is actually a "T" for "Tammuz" the worshiped son of Semiramis, the "Queen of Heaven"... the Babylonian queen goddess.
"...behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz." (Ezek.8:14)
Weeping for the dead son Tammuz who was believed to have risen from the dead as a "tree spirit" was also a religious ritual among women as a form of worship.
It was this Babylonian "T" that a false Christianity adapted when Rome allegedly "converted" to Christianity, that became the blindly accepted Christian "cross" of today. Christ was nailed to a "stauros," as was the inspired Bible term, which is a stake or tree trunk or upright pale. It has nothing to do with the Latin word "crux" or "cross" that appeared later in the Latin Vulgate translation of the scriptures, which the King James translators used extensively, carrying the "cross" straight over into the KJV.
When Catholics "cross" themselves with their hand motion, they, too, are making the pagan "T" for Tammuz... if only they knew.
Hotcross buns are not "Christian"... nor are they commanded in any kind of religious ritual in The Bible. It is an ancient Babylonian custom. Even the Jews took up this custom during the time they were oppressed by the Babylonian Empire that eventually took them into captivity. The Lord was angry with His people over this and other pagan religious customs, like "tree worshiping" (see Jer.10:2-4)
"Therefore will I do unto this house (the House of Judah), which is called by My name... I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim (the House of Israel, captured and scattered by Assyria some 130 years earlier). Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to Me: for I WILL NOT HEAR THEE. Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, TO MAKE CAKES TO THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger." (Jer.7:14-18)
"Good Friday," too, isn't commanded to be observed... nor mentioned in God's Word, but that's another subject.
So, if hotcross buns indeed may be revealed to be connected with "good Friday"... it's not a Christ-related one.
