A Biscuit Becomes a Doughnut
The biscuit-to-pastry crossover is a well-established format. Here, the subject is the Custard Cream. It’s one of the UK’s most recognisable biscuits, known for its sandwich construction and baroque, fern-like pattern pressed into the dough. Its defining feature is the vanilla-flavoured buttercream-style filling.
This concept reimagines it for the in-store bakery. It’s a simple swap. The two biscuits become a soft, sugared doughnut. The fondant centre becomes a smooth filling piped inside. The packaging places it squarely in the M&S own-brand territory: a clear, heat-sealed bag typical of their fresh bakery multipacks.
The Visuals
The mockup shows four ball doughnuts. They are not ring doughnuts. Each one is generously dusted with fine caster sugar. The key detail is the cross-section. One doughnut is sliced in half to show the internal structure, revealing a dense, off-white filling that fills the entire cavity. This is intended to be the ‘custard cream’ element.
The original caption that accompanied the image was direct. It read: “M&S Custard Cream doughnuts! Look at that delicious filling!”. The approach is about combining two familiar, comforting products into a single bakery item. It relies on the instant recognition of both the supermarket brand and the biscuit flavour.
