The new $7 mud cake from Woolworths is slammed by ‘confused’ shoppers: ‘What a waste’
Australian supermarket shoppers are conflicted over the release of the brand new limited edition Woolworths mud cake, with many slamming the controversial flavour.
Woolworths recently released a pumpkin spice mud cake ($7) ahead of Halloween, which combines the flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg and is topped with a chocolate ganache and a pecan cookie crumble.
Australian shoppers believe the treat is an autumn special and should not be sold in stores just as the country heads into summer.
“It makes no sense for Australia at this time of year,” said one.
“Pumpkin is fall and it’s spring here,” echoed another.
“This is just wrong,” one man wrote. “I’m so confused that they’re releasing this in the spring.”
Another added: ‘I love a pumpkin spice latte but this one didn’t taste like it. It tasted like carrot cake.”
But Melbourne-based food critic Nick Vavitis rated the special edition cake a ’14 out of 10′ and said it was a must-try.

“It smells unreal – the cake tastes exactly like a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte,” Nick said in a video.
“You really have to love pumpkin, and I love this,” he said.
‘It’s not too heavy on the nutmeg, it has a nice cinnamon flavor and is very sweet. I also love the sweet pumpkin spice glaze on top.”
Hundreds of others couldn’t wait to get their hands on the limited edition cake.
“I went to three different Woolworths stores and none of them had it,” one person complained.
“I can’t wait to try this, it looks delicious,” said another.
