Asda shoppers divided over realistic 'chicken bucket' cake but some say it's like 'cheesecake'

Videos have been circulating on social media - namely TikTok - of people baking and eating cakes that don't look like a cake.

Whether it's a shoe that's not really a shoe, a kettle that's not really a kettle and even a dog that's not a dog - it is getting scarily hard to tell what's real and what's not.

But now these cakes are coming to stores - and they look just as realistic with many not wanting to buy it out of confusion.

The cake retails for £12 and is said to serve approximately 20 people and as you can tell, it's been made to look like a chicken bucket with ketchup.

And despite some shoppers not being too keen on the cake, it seems to be a hit gaining four out of five stars online and some shoppers saying the chicken piece taste like "cheesecake."

Asda are selling the cake for just £12. (Food Finds UK.)

Taking to Food Finds UK's Facebook group, one shopper said they came across the cake in Asda adding: "So this is a thing and not sure what to make of it."

In response to their post one said: "I saw this in Asda when I was cake shopping for my sons birthday. Didn’t buy it but I think it would’ve been a weird one to eat based on the appearance/taste mentality."

Another added: "It's actually really nice! We got given one at a restaurant when out for a friend's birthday. The chicken pieces are similar to a cheesecake."

Some however were more confused about the serving recommendation of 20.

One joked: "Are the other 18 people on diets?"

Another also added: "I’m confused at the fact it’s states it feeds 20. 20 what? Mice?"
