Lidl's new 59p School Cake bakery treat causes a stir online
An iconic school dinner treat has hit the bakery shelves in Lidl – and it's causing a stir on social media.
The supermarket's latest addition to its popular range of sweet treats is proving to be a hit with shoppers, with several posts online.
The brand has announced the launch of its School Cake, which features vanilla-flavoured sponge and is topped with buttercream and rainbow sprinkles.
A slice will cost you 59p, but you'll need to hurry to try it as it's only available in stores across the country until June 11.

However, some people on a similar Facebook page were unsure if whether the bake would be as good as what they remembered.
'Old school cake is not this type of icing, this is just sprinkle cake, you can't say it's something that it's not,' one person said.
'Ah what memories! But never will it compare to what we had in school,' another person added.
The retailer's bakery has a cult-like following, and last year was crowned the nation's favourite, beating rivals like Tesco and Sainsbury's.
The School Cake is the first of many treats to cause a stir with shoppers in recent weeks.
There's been the Mini Egg Brownie and Cinnamon Bun Blondie and the Cheesecake Brownie too.
