Marks and Spencer's new Hot Cross Bun Cake has delighted customers as they look forward to the Easter weekend.
Newfoodsuk posted a picture of the "lightly spiced fruit sponge with plump sultanas and cinnamon buttercream" to Facebook and M&S customers have flocked to the comments section in excitement.
One shopper tagged a loved one under the post, commenting: "I need this."
When the news dropped, another M&S fan said: "Guess where I’m going first thing."
'Please may I have one for Easter, pretty please?'

The comments section was filled with proclamations of joy. One cake enthusiast said: "Omg that looks so good!"
Another couldn't wait to get their hands on the newest M&S Easter treat: "Very tasty looking xxxxx."
A third said: "Oh wow, that looks delicious." Another shopper said: "Mm! I'd give it a try!" One customer tagged a loved one under the social media post, commenting: "Please may I have one for Easter, pretty please?"
One customer wasn't sure what to think of M&S latest Easter offering, but was intrigued enough to try it.
The conflicted shopper said: "Ummmm not sure about it but feel I should give it a go."
But not everyone was so willing to try M&S new Hot Cross Bun Cake.
One unimpressed customer asked: "Is it supposed to look like a raw hot cross bun?!"
The Hot Cross Bun cake isn't the only Easter-themed food product the retailer has introduced in recent days and weeks. Shoppers can snap up an adorable Colin the Caterpillar lookalike.
