The cake joins M&S Foodhall's growing range of celebration cakes designed to make special occasions more memorable.

With its eye-catching appearance mimicking the beloved layered ice cream, it offers a practical alternative for those who want the aesthetic appeal of ice cream without the practical challenges.

The cake features three distinct layers of sponge - chocolate, vanilla and strawberry - creating the classic Neapolitan ice cream effect.

Each layer is coated in colourful buttercreams that enhance the ice cream illusion.

The decoration includes decorative scoops on top, mimicking actual ice cream servings.

Sauce drizzles add to the realistic appearance, making it look like a genuine ice cream dessert.

Milk chocolate sticks complete the presentation, reminiscent of traditional ice cream garnishes.

Unlike real ice cream, this cake requires no freezer storage and won't create a melting mess when served.

"Stop it!! This looks incredible!" commented one social media user, while another chimed in: "I need to try this."

M&S describes this second new cake as "perfect for the most beautiful of birthday parties and celebration spreads".

Another person chimed in: "I just love this!! All the new cake drops look spot on."
