An Exceedingly Good Crossover
This design brings together two powerful names from the UK grocery aisles: Mr Kipling and the Marks & Spencer in-store bakery. The combination is a logical one. Mr Kipling, owned by Premier Foods, is arguably the country’s most recognisable ambient cake brand, with the Cherry Bakewell being one of its signature lines.
M&S Food, meanwhile, has a strong reputation for premium bakery items, particularly its multipack doughnuts. This concept places a familiar cake-aisle flavour directly into the fresh bakery section. The packaging reflects this partnership, using the clean, modern M&S Bakery branding as a container for the highly traditional, almost nostalgic, Mr Kipling logo and colour scheme. It’s a clear signal of a co-branded product.
The Doughnut Format
The product itself isn’t a simple ring doughnut. The format shown is a filled ball doughnut, a staple of supermarket bakeries. The design translates the visual identity of a Cherry Bakewell tart directly onto this new format. Each doughnut is topped with the signature pink fondant icing and a white icing drizzle.
A single half-glacé cherry sits in the centre of each one, completing the classic look. The clear plastic bag is typical of supermarket bakery multipacks, designed to show the product clearly. The label specifies a pack of four, suggesting a family-sized treat rather than an individual impulse purchase. The flavour profile of a Cherry Bakewell—almond frangipane, fruity jam, and sweet icing—is a well-established combination that would adapt readily to a filled doughnut.
