Lidl has released another new bakery product (Picture: Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lidl<\/a>\u2019s in-store bakery boasts more than 40 items, with everything from brownies<\/a> to boules and Belgian buns.<\/p>\n

But eagle-eyed shoppers have noticed a brand new item was just added to the line-up and it stands out from the rest thanks to its colourful toppings. <\/p>\n

The budget retailer<\/a> has launched a Birthday Cake Bun in the bakery<\/a>, priced at 79p and it features a pale pink icing and rainbow sprinkles.<\/p>\n

From the outside, it looks like a rather standard iced bun, but inside it’s hiding a fabulous fruity pink swirl.<\/p>\n

Online reactions to the new supermarket <\/a>product have been mixed so far, after @newfoodsuk shared a snap of the bun on Facebook and Instagram. <\/p>\n

Some thought it looked \u2018yum\u2019 and \u2018nice\u2019 while others claimed they\u2019d tried it and it was \u2018too dry for them\u2019.<\/p>\n

So Metro<\/strong> decided to put the Birthday Cake Bun to the test and find out if it\u2019s worth buying, and it certainly went down a treat.<\/p>\n

James Besanvalle, Metro\u2019s assistant opinion editor, rated it a 4.5 out of 5, hailing it as \u2018fantastic\u2019.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018Lidl\u2019s new Birthday Cake Bun combines all the best elements of a doughnut (pink icing and sprinkles) with a scroll-like bun (jam-filled and soft in the middle). Sure, it\u2019s sweet \u2013 but who really wants a birthday cake that\u2019s not? Supremely satisfying.\u2019<\/p>\n

And Metro’s specialist food writer, Courtney Pochin<\/a>, also gave one a try. <\/p>\n

While James ate his on the day of purchase, Courtney took hers home to see how it would fare the next day and she was pretty impressed by how it held up.<\/p>\n

\u2018As someone who eats cake and pastries for a living, I\u2019ve never been the biggest fan of supermarket baked goods. They just can’t compete with homemade treats from independent bakeries,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

\u2018However, the Birthday Cake Bun was a pleasant surprise.\u2019<\/p>\n

She continued: \u2018After a day sat on my desk and a night in the cupboard, I didn\u2019t have high hopes for the bun, which looked rather sad and dry when I plated it up. But I’m pleased to report that somehow it had managed to stay soft instead of going stale (not going to think too much about why this might be right now).<\/p>\n

‘It’s a fun twist on a classic and I have to admit I probably enjoyed it more than most people will as I realised I haven’t actually had an iced bun in years.<\/p>\n

‘There’s something so spectacularly nostalgic about the taste of one and it went down very nicely with a cup of tea.<\/p>\n

‘My only real gripe is that Lidl has scrimped on the hundreds and thousands on top and they’re not spread out evenly. In my book, there’s no such thing as too many sprinkles. <\/p>\n

‘It loses a point for poor sprinkle form, so it’s a 4 out of 5 from me’<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tWhat else is new in Lidl's bakery?\t\t\t<\/h2>\n
