Christmas isn't Christmas without debating over what's for dessert. A yule log's always a great bet, and as is a classic fruitcake. But we're here to tell you that we've got one even better... Marks & Spencer's Night Before Christmas Smash Cake!
Yep! Brand-new for 2021, and first spotted online via @newfoodsuk on Instagram, the smash cake is quite literally a cake you smash.
Featuring a light Madeira sponge filled with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream, adorned with an edible smash dome and finished with some hidden treats, this cake is a must-have for Christmas.
The perfect Christmas centrepiece, this cake not only tastes great, but it's entertaining too!
@helenjtea on Instagram shared a video unboxing the cake, which has gathered over 1,000 likes along with dozens of comments from fans keen to get their hands on the new smash cake from M&S.
Marks & Spencer's Night Before Christmas Smash Cake is available to buy online and in-stores now for £20, and it'll serve up to a whopping 14 people.
Seeing as though you're already planning your next trip to M&S, it's worth mentioning that they're selling a Tear & Share Cheese Puff Pastry (with a molten camembert middle).
We're talking about an all-butter puff pastry hand twisted into delicious cheese straws around a gooey camembert.
First brought to our attention on Facebook via Money Saver by Dansway, it looks as though we're not the only ones completely mesmerised by this cheesy masterpiece! The post itself has racked up over 400 likes, as well as 1,200 comments.
The general consensus? People are completely and utterly obsessed.
