Honestly, it’s the thrill of the hunt. You’re not just buying a cake; you’re winning against the system. Have you ever had that moment where you snag the last discounted item in a store? It feels like you’ve cracked a code, right?
And let’s be real—M&S cakes are a mood. They’re the kind you bring to a friend’s dinner party and pretend you baked yourself. Getting them for a fraction of the price makes you feel like a genius. It’s the grocery equivalent of finding a designer dress for twenty bucks.
But here’s the kicker: the outlet is a bit of a mythical beast. They’re not everywhere, and they don’t always have the same stock. You have to be in the know to find one, which makes the discovery even sweeter. It’s like a treasure map with no X—just cake.
Park Cakes: The cake outlet selling M&S Colin the Caterpillars for £1.
What’s actually in the basket?
The shopper’s haul was wild: a sizeable victoria sponge, a box of generous flapjacks, and a massive apple crumble. All for under a tenner? Are you kidding me? That’s less than what you’d pay for a single artisan cupcake at a café. It’s a no-brainer if you love hosting, or just love eating cake for breakfast.
You might be thinking: “But aren’t they nearly expired?” Sure, they’re close to the date, but that’s the beauty of a cake. A good cake doesn’t turn bad in a day—it gets even better with a little time. Pop it in the freezer, and you’ve got dessert for a month.
Plus, the packaging might be dented or the frosting slightly smudged. But who cares? You’re eating it at home, not putting it in a museum. A squashed Colin the Caterpillar still tastes exactly like the perfect one. It’s a win for your taste buds and a win against food waste.
