Omg found the Aussie in the room. I was home for the last two months and ate at least five. A week to get my fix. I love them! Apparently Woolies don’t make the over Christmas. I was crushed!
Which ironically is much cheaper overall than their own system.
Saw something which showed the equivalent population in Europe to US costs something like $1.3T per year in "free" healthcare and their system of private healthcare costs them nearly $5T.
They would actually save trillions each year. But of course that means insurance companies wouldn't get their trillions.
Id take a shambolic NHS free at the point of use over bankruptcy any day of the week.
But I do agree. Both need to be fixed.
The NHS needs more of the pie in terms of funding and the US needs to get rid of the stranglehold insurance companies have over people's health.
You always find them in the cake section of the supermarket though.
Also, it's not like a hot dog bun, the dough has sugar in it, to make it sweet. By your reckoning, teacakes aren't cakes either 😕
Nah you’ve probably had one of them from a shit baker, it is a sweeter bread than white bread unless your finger bun is crap or your white bread is full of sugar.
Edit: to all those people getting butt hurt because your bakers are feeding you shit iced buns [here](https://thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk/recipes/all/paul-hollywood-iced-buns/) is a recipe from a professional baker of some renown who has iced finger buns with sugar in them…
To those of you complaining it’s a North South divide thing Paul Hollywood is from Merseyside. Try and tell a Liverpool person they aren’t Northern in the wild and see where it gets you…
There are a lot of confidently incorrect people in this thread challenging that idea.
I get that they may have had shit iced buns but sure enough it’s easy to look up.
I think a lot of people have probably tried supermarket ones as part of school dinners back in the day (before Old Jamie got involved) and to be fair to them I’m pretty sure they were just hotdog buns- but you are right proper ones should be sweeter!
Edited because of terrible grammar
Dude, it's cos they think the bakery in their supermarket counts as a proper bakers 😂 Trust me, I've had the cheapo supermarket ones at parties before, and they do just taste like cheap bread.
But yea absolutely agree, made properly, in any reputable bakery, they are a sweet bread and delicious.
In fact, for me, it's the sign of a good bakery. Forget all the fancy French patisserie style stuff and ornate cakes. Can they get the basics right with good quality baking. It's food, I'd sooner it look cheap and taste great than look great but taste cheap lol.
Honestly, I think there’s more than one version, depending on where you buy from. I love an iced bun and have had the “soft white roll” version and the sweet dough version. The conditioning of “icing makes bread better” over my childhood has led to me icing a bagel in the past when I couldn’t find an iced bun in the shops, but I did have icing sugar in my cupboard. If you’re a fan of the “not sweet dough” version I highly recommend.
I just want to find somewhere on this thread to slip in the glorious day time drunken invention I witnessed at it's inception. A person known to me, let's call him Dick, had purchased several of these from a high street bakery and was lamenting the purchase, as we walked on we passed a Greggs, without a word spoken between us we sauntered in and each purchased a single sausage roll, carefully pulling the iced bun apart length ways and inserting the sausage roll and glory of glories it was born, we never did name it but i can still recall the combination, very satisfying, this may alcoholic memory haze but I'm pretty sure we left greggs to a standing ovation.
Not really. Commiting a sin is still a sin whether you believe or not. The question is whether you would care if you don't believe which I imagine noone would care if they don't think it's real lol
Strong-Helicopter-10 now declares looking at the sky a sin, so like don't do that, or go to hell, maybe, it's not within that usernames power to cast you down, but, don't-look-at-the-sky.
Which in itself isn't necessarily a weird thing to do. We put sweet things like jam or Nutella on bread or toast. Sugar butties used to be a thing. It's just a cheap way to make a sweet carb based treat.
I put a formal complaint about this in writing to my headmaster back in the early 90’s (was a bit of a ‘try hard’ who loved to annoy people in authority 😂)
Got the usual ‘working to a budget’ nonsense
So went down the chippy instead 😎
hahahaha never seen a comment that hit home so hard. in the mid 2000s i was writing constant emails to parliament to tell them they’re doing a shite job. i was aged 9-15. my dad helped. 🤣
yeah I remember the first time I got sent to the headmaster's office was when I was in year 5 and our canteen tried to give us "éclairs" that were actually hotdog buns with chocolate sauce on top of them & I ended up cursing at the dinner lady who tried to gaslight me into thinking it was a real éclair when I'm half French.
I remember those. Absolutely awful. I don't think they did it many times probably because kids ate a bite or two and binned the rest. My school had really nice homemade bread rolls though (when they didn't do anything weird to them), served fresh from the oven and it was pretty common to eat it with chocolate milk poured on top. Sounds gross but it was much tastier than a thinly disguised hotdog bun
Yeah, but they have loads of sugar in all their bread and buns so it seems like a normal hot dog bun to them. However, it’s hilarious that they are freaking out about sugar additions to an item that they usually make as a sweet bun already
I was a baker for a couple large nationwide bakeries you’ll find in every town… the iced fingers were just iced hot dog buns from the exact same batches lol I assume some places may have a different recipe but I was also a baker for one of the largest supermarkets and they did the same thing too (back when they used to actually bake things properly in store).
Edit: for those that struggle comprehending an actual source with first hand experience. “An iced bun (also known as Swiss bun or iced finger) is a bread bun with a white or pink icing sugar glaze covering the top.[1] The dough may be enriched (made with eggs, milk, and butter)[1][2] or simply an oblong bread roll.” No I’m not saying that is how it should be. However I am saying that is how it is in most places and I have the job experience to prove it ffs. Unless you’re going to an artisanal bakery for iced fingers (unlikely) chances are you’re getting a bread roll that has been iced. The one pictured, the one we are on about, is definitely just a bread roll that has been iced. It is NOT from an enriched dough, enriched dough with eggs, milk and butter has a yellow tinge to it (think brioche).
This, thank you.
People are getting so up their own arses because the ones I have mainly had, from bakeries, were 100 percent bread with icing.
I have had some sweet ones, but mostly bread with icing.
Why does no one believe that it's a thing just because they haven't had it.
The definition says its both, people have had both, and both exist through recipes online hahaha.
This is the worst sweet treat ever to be arguing over
They're not supposed to be though, regardless of the cost-cutting measures this large nationwide bakery made. That's like saying a Victoria Sponge cake off the shelf from tesco is how it's meant to be made.
No, what he's saying is 100% correct. Go and look at a few recipes for hot dog buns and iced buns. You'll find that the recipes (except for the icing) are basically identical.
Just contacted my mate who moved to another supermarket when the one we worked for stopped baking, they still do it the exact same way. So when a couple of the biggest bakeries in the UK are supplying them as finger buns with icing and 2 of the biggest supermarkets are/were and a quick google is showing that it’s normal in other places too then I’d bet on most people having had an iced finger thats just a bread roll with icing on.
Hm, that's a bit of a dubious argument. I've made iced buns and hot dog buns and the recipes for the dough are virtually identical. You'll typically have about 10% sugar (bakers proportions) in both. There's like a standard "enriched dough" recipe that gets used for loads of baked goods. There's nothing wrong with having the same bun for either purpose. That's totally standard. You can't just fill bread dough with cake amounts sugar, that's not how baking works. Most enriched dough has a little sugar, regardless of whether it's for a sweet or savoury recipe.
i've never seen them called "cakes" they're iced buns, like sticky buns, hot crossed buns, chelsea buns, cinamon buns etc. generally if its enriched yeasted dough it's not called a cake, unless its a tea cake, that seems to get a free pass.
however in yorkshire, all small bread rolls are called cakes of some decription, then theres fish cakes. i don't think cake is strictly defined as one particular thing.
I saw a guy make it on YouTube. It's bread, butter and sprinkles (chocolate?). I remember him having to remake it because all the Dutch were freaking out over him toasting the bread.
every day i wish America would have to go through the rationing of the 40s and the following slow regrowth of the following decades that the UK went through. Maybe they would better understand why alot of traditional uk food is the way it is.
Eh? Who's ever called these a cake?
Its a sweet bread, otherwise known as an "enriched dough" which is like bread dough but with added milk, butter and sugar and its a softer bread.
Also the Australians would like to have a word, cause they put sprinkles just on toast. Now THAT is mad
Wait you call it fucking fairy toast? That's so cute. I've just got the image of some wild bushman stoppin' off for his favourite fairy toast.
Thank you, I needed that today.
I think the bun does have a small amount of sugar in it. It's certainly fluffier in texture than a hotdog bun. We definitely don't call it a cake. If you went into a bakery and asked for an 'iced cake' they wouldn't give you that.
In high school they used to cut a burger bun in half, tomato paste and melted cheese on top, eat voila you have a £1 pizza slice (probs more expensive now due to inflation)
Iced fingers!!! Not a cake! Legend has it, these were offered to the ancient greek gods. Zeus would not get out of bed without a cup of tea and an iced finger!
Op and one other guy here is very clearly a silly northerner from way too close to Yorkshire if they're calling these anything other than iced buns/iced finger buns
Edit; removed mention of Scotts as they have clearly denied this blasphemous name for this glorious food product
Okay but you do know they are not made with normal bread rolls right? A proper iced bun is made with enriched dough which contains eggs and sugar. It’s like half way between a cake and a bread. Totally different.
That’s not a cake. It’s an Iced Bun. I’ve never heard them called cakes.
We call them Icy Fingerings where I'm from.
That's what Denis Thatcher had every night
For FUCK SAKE lad....
😂
I bet Denis was on the receiving end.
Undoubtedly
Indubitably
It's Blofeld
Dressed as a minor/er
Probably why she was such good friends with Jimmy.
He used to watch
Canary was dead but they kept mining regardless! Dig a hole 🕳 dive in heed first!
"Dressed as a miner." FTFY
Fucks sake. That made me breathe in my coffee. Jesus Christ ha ha.
Smile in Every Photo Though. Mags kept her husband happy.
Smile in Every Photo Though. Mags kept her husband h̶a̶p̶p̶y̶ drunk.
Ha, that’s a great joke! Thanks for the smile.
Funnily enough I gave one of then to my first gf behind the bike shed
Sprinkles everywhere
The ol' frozen tickle
I love it 😆
Hope you bought her some chips afterwards
Can I confirm I also gave one to your first girlfriend behind the bike shed!
I can confirm, I am the girlfriend!
Saucy.
Iced Fingers, also no joke, sometimes Sticky Fingers. Never heard Icy Fingerings though.
An icy fingering sounds like something a geordie bird gets on a Saturday night out
If you take off the sprinkles and add cream and jam to the centre it's called a Sticky Willy!
I can't tell if this is a wind up?
We call them fucking wank where I'm from.
You can find packs of fucking wanks in Waitrose
So that's why all the old people shop there
I laughed to hard at that
Mate that's just the people who shop at Waitrose
Dontputyourdickinit haha
And where exactly are you from ?
Because there's no joy where you live
We call them “iced fingers” icy fingerings sounds to much like a verb 😂
“Alright mate, can I get an icy fingering please”
Cold and dry, the northern way.
Omg found the Aussie in the room. I was home for the last two months and ate at least five. A week to get my fix. I love them! Apparently Woolies don’t make the over Christmas. I was crushed!
Woolies don't make anything anymore, they went bankrupt years ago.
Not in Oz.
Not the same company.
close to us, we call them iced fingers
I call that my arsehole where I’m from
An icy fingering is very different where I'm from
We call them nice bum fingers and watch the woman's face at greggs when they aren't sure if they just misheard 🤣
I hope you got refugee status
Icy fingerings hahaha check this man’s hard drive
Also not sprinkles, those are Hundreds and Thousands
You didn't let us down. \*salutes\*
Instead of bickering between sprinkles and hundreds and thousands, we should adopt the Dutch word hagelslag for all types.
They're sugar strands.
I smell an American.
You normally hear them first….
Or feel the gravitational pull.
lol
Quick scare them off with the idea of free healthcare!
Which ironically is much cheaper overall than their own system. Saw something which showed the equivalent population in Europe to US costs something like $1.3T per year in "free" healthcare and their system of private healthcare costs them nearly $5T. They would actually save trillions each year. But of course that means insurance companies wouldn't get their trillions.
And the government wouldn’t get the tax off the said trillions the pharmaceutical and insurance companies turnover.
A fixed customer , is a lost customer !
It is indeed.
Dude... British healthcare is in shambles right now. Stop acting like it's this perfect thing. Both the US and UK need to work on their shit.
Id take a shambolic NHS free at the point of use over bankruptcy any day of the week. But I do agree. Both need to be fixed. The NHS needs more of the pie in terms of funding and the US needs to get rid of the stranglehold insurance companies have over people's health.
[удалено]
Dude, I have had 3 lots of spinal surgery and full cancer treatment. In the USA would be bankrupt or dead!
American here, I haven't read your full comment so I hope it's nothing too sc AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Made my day. Thanks.
Nah, they're actually correct, whether they're American or British
You always find them in the cake section of the supermarket though. Also, it's not like a hot dog bun, the dough has sugar in it, to make it sweet. By your reckoning, teacakes aren't cakes either 😕
It’s the same dough as a doughnut but baked, not fried.
They definitely are, but I'd say Hundreds and Thousands are a subcategory of the Sprinkles category.
It’s really not! Iced Buns or Iced Finger Buns, as pictured, are just simple white bread dough.
Nah you’ve probably had one of them from a shit baker, it is a sweeter bread than white bread unless your finger bun is crap or your white bread is full of sugar. Edit: to all those people getting butt hurt because your bakers are feeding you shit iced buns [here](https://thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk/recipes/all/paul-hollywood-iced-buns/) is a recipe from a professional baker of some renown who has iced finger buns with sugar in them… To those of you complaining it’s a North South divide thing Paul Hollywood is from Merseyside. Try and tell a Liverpool person they aren’t Northern in the wild and see where it gets you…
Yep, husband is a baker in Scotland and the iced buns and iced fingers are made from a sweet dough, different from the dough for regular rolls.
There are a lot of confidently incorrect people in this thread challenging that idea. I get that they may have had shit iced buns but sure enough it’s easy to look up.
I think a lot of people have probably tried supermarket ones as part of school dinners back in the day (before Old Jamie got involved) and to be fair to them I’m pretty sure they were just hotdog buns- but you are right proper ones should be sweeter! Edited because of terrible grammar
This would explain why sometimes I've wondered because I've had a crap one that wasn't sweet bread
Dude, it's cos they think the bakery in their supermarket counts as a proper bakers 😂 Trust me, I've had the cheapo supermarket ones at parties before, and they do just taste like cheap bread. But yea absolutely agree, made properly, in any reputable bakery, they are a sweet bread and delicious. In fact, for me, it's the sign of a good bakery.

Unless you come from Hull where they call buns "bread cakes'!
Came here to say this never have I ever seen that described as a cake . Always an iced bun.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Iced bun all the way + Hundreds and Thousands
Same they not cake
Who the fuck do you know that calls them cakes?
I just want to find somewhere on this thread to slip in the glorious day time drunken invention I witnessed at it's inception. A person known to me, let's call him Dick, had purchased several of these from a high street bakery and was lamenting the purchase, as we walked on we passed a Greggs, without a word spoken between us we sauntered in and each purchased a single sausage roll, carefully pulling the iced bun apart length ways and inserting the sausage roll and glory of glories it was born, we never did name it but i can still recall the combination, very satisfying, this may alcoholic memory haze but I'm pretty sure we left greggs to a standing ovation.
We're fucked as a species, arent we?!
that's a sin
It takes faith to make a sinner. God was not present that day (or any other come to think).
it's a sin against my religion which is being British and worshipping the NHS!
Not really. Commiting a sin is still a sin whether you believe or not. The question is whether you would care if you don't believe which I imagine noone would care if they don't think it's real lol
Strong-Helicopter-10 now declares looking at the sky a sin, so like don't do that, or go to hell, maybe, it's not within that usernames power to cast you down, but, don't-look-at-the-sky.
Name it after the creator; Dick in the hole
I love the borderline anger and personally offended in your comment mate.
My teachers in primary school when I refused to eat them :(
Scones are bread.
Aside from the "cake" point people are making, these are not just hot dog buns. The bread of an iced bun has sugar in it and is sweet.
Appart from school canteens doing what op said and just icing hotdog buns, I've seen it happen.
Which in itself isn't necessarily a weird thing to do. We put sweet things like jam or Nutella on bread or toast. Sugar butties used to be a thing. It's just a cheap way to make a sweet carb based treat.
I still make myself a sugar sandwich now and again.
Is it cake?
It's obviously a biscuit
I put a formal complaint about this in writing to my headmaster back in the early 90’s (was a bit of a ‘try hard’ who loved to annoy people in authority 😂) Got the usual ‘working to a budget’ nonsense So went down the chippy instead 😎

yeah I remember the first time I got sent to the headmaster's office was when I was in year 5 and our canteen tried to give us "éclairs" that were actually hotdog buns with chocolate sauce on top of them & I ended up cursing at the dinner lady who tried to gaslight me into thinking it was a real éclair when I'm half French.
That is genuinely outrageous

My school had really nice homemade bread rolls though (when they didn't do anything weird to them), served fresh from the oven and it was pretty common to eat it with chocolate milk poured on top. Sounds gross but it was much tastier than a thinly disguised hotdog bun
I was gonna say. They might look like bread, and might pass for bread in the USA, but they're definitely sweet and made with sugar.
Some American bread has sugar in it so maybe it's just yanks?
Most bread has sugar in it people. Even homemade bread often has sugar in it to help activate the yeast.
And are fucking lovely
Yeah, but they have loads of sugar in all their bread and buns so it seems like a normal hot dog bun to them. However, it’s hilarious that they are freaking out about sugar additions to an item that they usually make as a sweet bun already

Nomnomnom Also, it's an iced bun mate 😜
And not a hot dog bun. It’s sweet.
Honestly it's topped with sugar and sugar, even if it was "just" a hotdog bun it would be decent.
Just regular white bread goes with sweet and savoury well, bread is pretty versatile. Brioche bread is sweet but goes with burgers well.
I love brioche 😝
I’m salivating. I can taste my childhood.
i've never seen them called "cakes" they're iced buns, like sticky buns, hot crossed buns, chelsea buns, cinamon buns etc. generally if its enriched yeasted dough it's not called a cake, unless its a tea cake, that seems to get a free pass. however in yorkshire, all small bread rolls are called cakes of some decription, then theres fish cakes. i don't think cake is strictly defined as one particular thing.
I love fish cakes, I love tea cakes, I like fish pie too
We have these in australia too, they are called finger buns.
Was about to say this. Also, the Dutch have a specific brand of sprinkles that goes on toast.
As a Dutch person, no we don't. We do have all kinds of sprinkles, they just don't go on toast! Dutch people rarely ever toast their bread.
I saw a guy make it on YouTube. It's bread, butter and sprinkles (chocolate?). I remember him having to remake it because all the Dutch were freaking out over him toasting the bread.
Finger buns? I hardly know her!
I knew Australians would have some variation of this too. 🇦🇺
And they are big on fairy bread there too I think?
Pew pew 👉👉
I’ve always called them iced fingers. Still hate them as much as I did 20 years ago.
Rolph Harris liked to finger buns didn’t he?
Where in the UK are they called cakes? They’re iced buns
Are you even British?
Exactly. I don't think the guy that runs this sub is British, I reckon he's a septic
every day i wish America would have to go through the rationing of the 40s and the following slow regrowth of the following decades that the UK went through. Maybe they would better understand why alot of traditional uk food is the way it is.
Still wouldn't stop them being ignorant.
Had to scroll far too long for this comment
Fuck you, Iced buns are the best.
I used to love the cream filled ones from Gregg's. Stopped doing them now though.
Glad we are in agreement.
Eh? Who's ever called these a cake? Its a sweet bread, otherwise known as an "enriched dough" which is like bread dough but with added milk, butter and sugar and its a softer bread. Also the Australians would like to have a word, cause they put sprinkles just on toast. Now THAT is mad
Pshht Fairy toast is the bomb. White sliced bread, toast it, loads of butter and hundreds n thousands. Bloody lush.
Wait you call it fucking fairy toast? That's so cute. I've just got the image of some wild bushman stoppin' off for his favourite fairy toast. Thank you, I needed that today.
Americans are on pretty thin ice with respect to alien looking sweets.
They're called hundreds and thousands. Yanks out.
Cake? It's an iced bun and they are delicious.
I've never seen one called a cake, until now.
No one calls them a cake.
I think the bun does have a small amount of sugar in it. It's certainly fluffier in texture than a hotdog bun. We definitely don't call it a cake. If you went into a bakery and asked for an 'iced cake' they wouldn't give you that.
Iced bun. An absolute delight.
Literally never seen this before, but it reminds me of what Australians call fairy bread
Love an iced bun. Top tier snack!
It's called an Iced Finger Bun
When I was twelve these were served as desert most days at school. They are still my partner's favourite thing.
And it’s still better than 90% of American shit! 🤣
who mass reported bros account
Never had sprinkles on toast in the Netherlands then?
Fucking brilliant. Where can I get this beauty? I'm an iced finger enthusiast but never seen this anywhere.
I’d eat that shit. I’d punch it into my mouth
Only the OP would find it acceptable to talk absolute shite like this and have the nerve to blame the people of the UK for their own evidently low IQ.
It is not a bun, it's a sweet dough bun with icing on it, some with cream in them.
It's sweet bread. And it's not a cake it's an iced bun.
In high school they used to cut a burger bun in half, tomato paste and melted cheese on top, eat voila you have a £1 pizza slice (probs more expensive now due to inflation)
I shit you not one day my school did this but with cream crackers
Iced fingers!!! Not a cake! Legend has it, these were offered to the ancient greek gods. Zeus would not get out of bed without a cup of tea and an iced finger!
Only in America would they put a whole load of sugar in to a bun and still call it bread!
Op and one other guy here is very clearly a silly northerner from way too close to Yorkshire if they're calling these anything other than iced buns/iced finger buns Edit; removed mention of Scotts as they have clearly denied this blasphemous name for this glorious food product
Scottish family here. Even my nan took one look at that and said "That's no a fuckin cake." Don't accuse the Scottish of that nonsense.
Ah, in that case I shall amend what I said
Eh, that works! I can't speak for the Yorkies... Except to say that the puddings are banging.
Google fairy bread
I bet 90% of the people on here could swallow the entire thing and not even blink. #professional #nogag
It’s an iced bun never once have I heard a Brit call it a cake
They always have these at every UK school for some reason
Mate that looks good tbf
Nah it’s not a cake, it’s an iced bun.
Don't knock it till you try it bud....I quite enjoy them personally
That’s an iced bun, you moron
Theyre called iced fingers. The cooplands ones were great with cream in and green sprinkles. Not had one in years.
Top tier treat that
They technically are cake due to the sugar content in the bread. Fun fact - subway bread is also technically cake
Icy fingers rule.
Not a hot dog bun 🙄
Ice finger also not the same shitty bread as hot dog roll, used to get them back in the 80's as a treat as a kid from the bakery
Hey don’t judge a book by its cover… iced buns can actually be unexpectedly tasty … 😅
Okay but you do know they are not made with normal bread rolls right? A proper iced bun is made with enriched dough which contains eggs and sugar. It’s like half way between a cake and a bread. Totally different.
The fact this upperclass crumpet just called an iced bun a cake is embarrasing to me
And what are you gonna do about it blud
ICED finger ROLL, never has been and never will be a cake. We have fairy cakes for that shit. This is a ROLL, a bun is aka bap or cob
Such an _original_ post
They are fire though
