M&S Launches Special Mother's Day Connie The Caterpillar

Mother's Day is fast approaching and if you're looking for a sweet - and very chocolatey treat - for the special occasion, Marks & Spencer has the answer.

Launching in store on Tuesday, M&S is introducing a new 'flower power' Connie the Caterpillar cake for the very first time.

'Flower Power' Connie has had a hippie make-over in time for Mother's Day - she is dressed head to tail in pink, yellow and white flowers with a floral headband and filled with an all butter chocolate sponge roll and strawberry flavoured buttercream.

Yum!

Connie was first introduced in 2016 as Colin's girlfriend. You may remember the story of how the couple came to be. Well, they actually hit it off at a friend's birthday party and got married in 2017 and they've sat side by side on M&S Food shelves living happily ever after since.

After being introduced to the party scene, it wasn't only Colin who fell in love with Connie. From birthday bashes to virtual lockdown celebrations, Connie has become a firm favourite with customers.

She's famed for her super cute pink bow, trendy trainers and pink hearts, and Connie's become so popular that she's also been miniaturised as a mini roll and super-sized online. Now, fans will be thrilled they can get their hands on a very special Connie the Caterpillar Cake with her very own theme.

This is the second special edition Connie the Caterpillar cake this year after M&S launched a double whammy Colin and Connie Valentine's Day cake.

Dubbed "the ultimate Valentine's gift" the limited edition cake gift featured both Colin and Connie cakes, who underwent a Valentine's makeover, with hearts dotted across their backs and swoon-y love-heart eyes.

As usual, Connie could also be seen wearing a cute pink bow, and has long eyelashes, while a loved-up Colin sits happily next to her.

For the Prosecco loving mums, M&S has its Conte Priuli Oro Rosa Prosecco Rosé on shelves which is on offer for Mother's Day at only £10. The fizz is deliciously fresh with delicate aromas of strawberries and raspberries and comes in a beautiful bottle which is perfect as a gift.

Flower Power Connie is available at M&S for £10.
