Two adorable, new celebration cakes have hit the shelves at Coles, but not all shoppers are happy with the tasty treats.
The new cakes include a Koala Cake, which is a double layered sponge, filled with jam and topped with sprinkles and edible decorations. While the new Snag Cake is a chocolate sponge with smooth frosting swirls, covered in milk chocolate, decorated with a chocolate face, chocolate buttons and sprinkles. And each has a price tag of $29.
Coles customers have been sharing their thoughts on pricey new celebration cakes, with many saying they’re too expensive.
“$30 for a sponge cake is outrageous,” one person commented on a TikTok video uploaded by popular content creator Nectorious Papi.
“Could buy the sponge this week for $6 and cover it in cheap sprinkles and a couple of eyes and nose price maybe $14 all up,” said another follower.

Mum Cara Wagstaff also shared her thoughts on TikTok. “I saw this cake and thought it was so cute, it had a really yummy centre, and I thought, ‘OK cool, how much is it?’” she explained.
“I had a look at the price and it was $29. It is literally the exact same size as the Coles Mud Cake. What the hell?”

However, there are also plenty of shoppers who love the new cakes, saying there’s no way you’d be able to purchase anything similar from a cake maker for even close to $30.
