'Absolutely need!' Marks & Spencer launches four new products but shoppers have mixed reaction

Four new cake flavours have been announced which are available in stores for £20.

The supermarket giant said: "New in the M&S Foodhall – a slice of heaven at a very unexpected price tag.

"These are not eye-wateringly expensive artisan cakes from that fancy patisserie you follow on Instagram… These are new hand-decorated M&S Collection cakes, available in the Foodhall for only £20 each. Yep, you read that right.

"Our new serves-12 Collection celebration cakes are seriously special. Made with three generous layers of flavour-soaked sponge and a thick filling of all-butter buttercream between each, these cakes are then hand-decorated with expert techniques and unique decorations.

"Perfect for when you just don’t have the time, skills or inclination to create your own."

The new flavours include Pistachio & Raspberry, Chocolate & Hazelnut, Sicilian Lemon & Blackberry and Brown Sugar & Salted Caramel.

The first three new flavours are available at M&S Foodhalls now while the last will be stocked from later this month. Shoppers soon shared their thoughts on Instagram.

One said "yum" to the new flavours while another said they "absolutely need" to try the Pistachio and Salted Caramel cakes.

A third said, "delicious Chocolate & Hazlenut Cake" while one more added, "Pistachio & Raspberry is calling my name".

Another shopper said they were "great, perfect for dessert" while more excited cake fans shared "heart eyes", "flames" and "clapping" emojis.

While most shoppers commented that they are excited to try the cakes, others called for more options for different dietary requirements.

One begged for "more gluten-free options please, M&S" while a second asked, "would it be too much to ask for you to add at least one more vegan cake?".

Many other shoppers shared this sentiment by posting similar comments which the supermarket said it would take on board.

This comes as Marks & Spencer shared more new options for customers looking to satisfy their sweet tooth.

It has revamped its confectionery aisle with new chocolates including three milk chocolate 'Choc' bar flavours, Blond chocolate caramelised pecans, 70% dark chocolate dusted almonds and Hazelnut & Milk Chocolate Nutty Clouds.
