Tesco launches birthday cake sandwich complete with sprinkles and frosting
Tesco said the 'soiree sandwich' was the result of nine months of development by its product innovation team, describing it as taking inspiration from the birthday classic Victoria Sponge.
The sandwich contains full-fat soft cheese, seedless strawberry jam, sprinkles and vanilla frosting between slices of brioche-style white bread.
Nutritional information for the sandwich shows that it contains 515 calories with 8.4g saturated fat (42% of an adult's reference intake) and 31.5g of sugar (35% of the reference intake).
Shoppers can buy it for £3, or as part of a £4 meal deal alongside a drink and snack.
It comes just weeks after Marks & Spencer launched a dessert sandwich filled with strawberries and cream.
Tesco brand manager Violaine Barthe said: 'With 3.1 million sandwiches sold in Tesco each year, sandwiches make up a big proportion of Clubcard purchases and so there was only one way to celebrate Clubcard turning 30.
'The Birthday Cake Sandwich is a celebration not to be missed and we can't wait to hear the nation's feedback.'

'I found Tesco receipt from 1998 and was floored by how cheap things were'
One woman has taken to social media to share a photograph of a Tesco receipt from 1998, showing the price of 22 food and drink items – and people couldn't believe how cheap certain products were The rising cost of supermarket goods has left many people in reeling, especially in the face of the current cost of living crisis. And one woman has shed light on just how much these prices have skyrocketed over the years after unearthing a photograph of a Tesco receipt from 27 years ago. The woman, known as Lauren, posted the image of the 1998 receipt on X, which was subsequently shared on Facebook. The receipt revealed that the shopper had bought a total of 22 food and drink items for a mere £27.96. One item, priced at £10.99, accounted for a significant chunk of the bill, but it was crossed out on the receipt, leaving people to speculate what it might have been. The receipt offered a stark contrast to today's price s, with cola costing just 23p back then, compared to 80p for a 2L bottle of Tesco's own brand today. A box of Weetabix was a steal at only 65p, a far cry from today's price of £3.50 for a box of 24. Cooking oil was a bargain at a mere 53p, whereas now you'll need to shell out at least £1.99 for a bottle at Tesco. Even a bouquet of flowers would have set you back only £1.66 27 years ago. Cat food was priced at just 48p, but the cheapest box you'll find in Tesco today is £2.59. Sharing the photo, Lauren wrote: "Found a picture of a 27-year-old receipt which came to £27.96. "While I couldn't find every item on the Tesco website, I could definitely make educated guesses, so by my estimation this would case you £79.64 today." The post showcasing surprisingly low prices caused quite a stir, quickly gathering over 8,000 likes as people expressed their amazement. One shopper exclaimed in disbelief: "Weetabix is how much?" Another was taken aback, remarking: "Cooking oil 53p? Wow!" A third reminisced, commenting: "Ah, the golden years of 1998 Tesco shopping. They were the best of times... if only we know then. Peak civilisation." Curiosity arose with one person asking: "What's the 10.99 item?", prompting another to jest: "Probably a down payment for a house." Yet another chimed in humorously: "Maybe a washing machine?". While the price tags left many gobsmacked, some pointed out that it was all down to 'just inflation', noting that these were prices from nearly three decades ago.

How has Tesco's F&F upped its game By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices. But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco. The leopard print gown would look perfect paired with sandals for a summer look, and can easily be transitioned into your winter wardrobe if paired with boots. Shoppers are also loving the F&F Edit Palm Print Bardot Midi Dress in Multi Red, which has been slashed from £25 to just £12. The stylish frock features an exotic tropical pattern and a belt that will help to hide your tummy.

Tesco fans are also loving the F&F Cotton Rich Sleeveless Ribbed Racer Midi Dress in Mink which has been slashed from £16 to just £9, a saving of almost 60%. The simple dress can easily be chucked on in hot weather, and the sleeveless design will help to cool down sweaty armpits.
