A Classic Dessert in a New Format
A new design concept for the M&S bakery aisle has caught the attention of shoppers. The mockup shows a four-pack of doughnuts flavoured to taste like the classic Italian dessert, tiramisu. The pack’s simple, clear-bagged format is typical for in-store bakery goods, designed to showcase the product inside.
The flavour profile is listed as ‘Tiramisu Mascarpone & Coffee’. This is not a simple dusting or glaze. The image suggests a filled doughnut, likely with a mascarpone-style cream, and a coffee-flavoured topping. It’s a direct crossover, aiming to replicate a layered, spoon-based dessert in a completely different form. It is a very direct idea.
The Bakery Crossover Trend
This concept taps into a long-running trend: desserts imitating other desserts. We’ve seen sticky toffee pudding turn up in everything from cereal to chocolate bars, and cheesecake flavours appear in yoghurts and ice creams. Tiramisu itself is a common candidate for these crossovers, often found in luxury chocolates, liqueurs, and coffee shop syrups.
Putting it in a doughnut, however, is a specific choice. Doughnuts are usually associated with simpler, more direct flavours – jam, custard, chocolate, or a simple sugar glaze. This concept moves the format into territory usually occupied by patisserie or plated restaurant desserts. It’s a definite shift. A new direction.
