'It may be controversial': Baker's Delight worker shares 'best' way to eat a finger bun
A Bakers Delight store worker has demonstrated what they claim to be the "elite" way to eat a finger bun.
Finger buns are a delicious, sweet bread typically fashioned in a long roll with a generous helping of fluffy frosting on top.
At Bakers Delight, that frosting can be topped with sprinkles, coconut, or cinnamon sugar.

One pointed out the absence of sultanas in the finger bun. Fruitless finger buns have grown in popularity in Australia over the years, particularly for children.
"No, sorry, needs about 30g of butter in the middle," one TikToker said.
Finger buns used to be sold with butter in the middle, but this practice slowly faded over the years, never to return in stores.
One clever customer asked: "Why don't you just make them with icing in the middle?"
"Cos then it wouldn't be a finger bun," added another.
"But a thumb bun is a finger bun with icing in the middle," said one TikToker.
One finger bun lover said they usually "get Nutella and dip it in that way it isn't so damn dry".
"Real ones just lick the icing off," said another.

One more controversial suggestion: "Add salt and vinegar chips, trust me."
"I just dip it in butter and eat it," another said.
One finger bun lover said they "scroll it up" to eat it.
"I honestly thought they were going to throw the bottom part away," another said.

Those Bakers Delight customers suggesting icing be added to the middle of finger buns may be onto something.
Woolworths was selling ice-filled finger buns earlier this year for a limited time.
Finger Buns at Bakers Delight cost $2.30 each.
At Coles, customers will pay $3.50 for a pack of four finger buns, and this week at Woolworths, they are selling for $3.00 for a pack of four.
