Two Pantry Staples Combine
A new bakery concept brings together two familiar UK brands from very different aisles. The product is an M&S Bakery multipack of doughnuts, but the filling is specified as Ambrosia Devon Custard. This places a premium supermarket own-brand alongside a heritage tinned goods name, famous for its smooth, ready-to-serve custard.
The packaging mockup uses the established M&S Bakery design language, a clear plastic tray covered by a simple cardboard sleeve. The visuals are co-branded, prominently featuring the classic green Ambrosia logo and its ‘Devon’s Finest’ strapline. It’s a straightforward brand collaboration, relying on the recognition of both names rather than a complex new flavour profile. The proposition is simple: a familiar doughnut format, elevated by a well-loved branded filling.
A Classic Filling
Custard-filled doughnuts are hardly a new invention. The Boston Cream is a global standard. But the choice of Ambrosia is specific. It’s not a generic crème pâtissière; it’s the tinned custard that has been a fixture of British cupboards for generations, usually served hot with puddings like crumbles and sponges. Its use here repositions it as a cold, ambient filling for a handheld snack.
The format is a classic sugared ring doughnut, which suggests the custard is piped into the ring itself. This is a departure from the typical ball doughnut used for filled varieties, which normally contain a central reservoir of jam or cream. The visual suggests the filling is a core component, integrated throughout the product rather than just injected into the middle. The accompanying social media caption, “Need to try these ASAP!”, positions it as an immediate, must-have item.
Frequently asked questions
