The Biscoff Phenomenon
The flavour profile of Lotus Biscoff is now a category in its own right. What began as a simple caramelised biscuit served with coffee has expanded into a global food trend, with its own spreads, ice creams, and sandwich biscuits. It has become a standard-issue flavour component for third-party collaborations. Bakeries and dessert parlours use the spread and biscuit crumb as a default topping. It is everywhere.
This is the territory this new design enters. The concept taps directly into a known, and very popular, flavour combination. There is no mystery here. It simply applies a successful flavour to a familiar supermarket format.
Packaging and Format
The mockup uses the standard clear-bag packaging common to many in-store bakery items from Marks & Spencer. It’s a simple, effective format. Four doughnuts are visible inside.
The branding is consistent with the current M&S Bakery design language, using a distinctive purple and white label. The key information is presented clearly: ‘Biscoff Swirl’ and the all-important ‘Limited Edition’ flash. The doughnuts themselves appear to be ring doughnuts with a white glaze, topped with a swirl of Biscoff spread and a light dusting of biscuit crumb.
