Hot Cross Bun texture

I’m trying to make a hot cross bun procedural texture. How do i get a cross aligned on top of it? If I can get a black and white cross then I can mix two textures with the cross as the factor.

I’ve tried voronoi but I can’t get it to make squares…

Math node set to Compare?

Wow you’re fast… I just barely got Blender open :sweat_smile:
Just to add something useful, since I was going to say that, here’s how you can extrude the icing with geonodes:

Those are really interesting replies. I figured it out myself though - just use a brick texture!

actually the brick texture sucked. It got the cross ok but blending the ends convincingly didn’t work. I ended up using curves to draw the cross on it.

Set the randomness to 0 (or very low) to get squares from voronoi.

I know this does not look much like a hot cross bun!

I would be tempted to model and sculpt the cross for it to be more convincing.
