A Belgian bun is a sweet bun containing sultanas and usually topped with fondant icing and half a glace cherry.[1] Some recipes also include lemon curd.[1]

The bun is round or square shaped, with rounded off edges, making it similar in appearance to a Chelsea bun.[1] Known as a 'Cherry Boobie' in parts of Somerset UK. It is also sometimes served with cream. No firm link has so far been established between the bun and Belgium; however, that country does produce as one of its specialties a very similar viennoiserie (though with less icing) known as a rozijnenkoek or couque suisse.
