Spiral-shaped and baked as a soft, enriched bun, it’s topped with white fondant icing, a layer of lemon curd, and a glace cherry. The dough is yeasted and slightly sweet, with the filling sitting in the swirl rather than inside a pocket, so each bite moves from bread to tangy curd to sugar glaze. Greggs has sold this bakery staple for years, alongside its ring doughnuts, iced buns, and other hand-sized pastries. It comes as a single portion rather than a pack, usually bought from the hot counter or bakery case, and it’s part of the chain’s classic sweet bun range.
