Supermarket giant Asda is popular for shoppers looking to try for new and exciting products.
The retailer keeps shoppers up to date with their new products through social media.
The social media food discovery page NewFoodsUK shared an image of ASDA's newest cake - which is shaped like an adorable little guinea pig, Manchester Evening News reports.
The post was said: "New Ginny the Guinea Pig Cake now available at Asda!"
Social media users soon took notice of the cake and the likes, comments and shares started piling up.
Since being posted, the image has racked up an insane 49,000 comments, 4,000 shares and 12,000 likes.
One person said: "Love this!! Too cute to eat."
Another wrote: "Wow! This is lovely! I used to have lots of real piggies but my dog would eat them now. I'll have to have a cake guinea pig instead."
"I want a Ginny pig cake! Actually I would settle for a good old caterpillar cake, supermarket cakes are so boring here," said a third.
However, some people pointed out that the cake could 'freak' children out.
"How to freak out every child who has had a guinea pig, ever," joked one shopper.
A second critic jested: "Lovely but we had tears when cutting Colin the caterpillar up it will be a full melt down with a guinea pig."
"I love it but imagine the trauma of taking a knife to it, especially at a kids birthday party.," said a third.
Ginny the Guinea Pig cakes are available in ASDA stores and online now and cost £10 each.
