M&S has launched a Percy Pig cake in a jar and it has our mouths watering

If have a sweet tooth, then you may jump for joy on the announcement that Marks & Spencer has just launched a Percy Pig cake jar.

After the huge success of its Colin the Caterpillar Cake Jar (£4, Ocado ) in April, the posh supermarket has decided to treat its customers to a brand new pink version dedicated to the nation's favourite pig.

Layers of fluffy madeira sponge have been filled with Percy Pig-flavour buttercream, raspberry jam and fruity raspberry jelly pieces. Each cake is finished with a Percy Pig sweet (of course) and freeze-dried raspberry pieces - yum!

Priced at £4, hungry shoppers can find the new Percy Pig Cake Jars in stores across the UK. You can find out your closest branch of M&S by using its handy store locator tool, here.

But that's not the only tasty cake jar you can get your hands on. M&S is also selling Raspberry Ripple and Trillionaire options, with 700,000 sold across the line since April.

  • M&S Colin the Caterpillar Cake Jar, £4, Ocado - buy it here
  • M&S Raspberry Ripple Cake Jar, £4, Ocado - buy it here
  • M&S Trillionaire's Cake Jar, £4, Ocado - buy it here

Cake jars are just the ticket for picnics or other outdoor shindigs - so be sure to stock up on the Marks & Spencer's delicious offerings before they sell out.

To celebrate the launch of its newest cake jars, M&S is letting shoppers hang out with Percy virtually for the first time ever.

From today, you can visit a store and see Percy pop in front of your eyes via your smart phone. All you have to do is scan a QR code in store or visit the Place Percy website.

Instagram foodie account NewFoodsUK recently shared the new launch to its page, saying "OMG guys M&S have done it again! This new Cake Jar is insane, Percy Pig heaven! The flavours are spot on, the Percy Pig frosting works so well with the sponge, sauce and jelly pieces!"

The post has been liked more than 3,000 times and many fans seem eager to get their hands on one.

One delighted shopper wrote: "I’m going to hunt these down on Thursday!!"

Another said: "I'm on the hunt!!"

While a third tagged a friend and added: "we know what our treat is this week!!"

You can get your hands on all of Marks & Spencer's cake jars in stores nationwide.

Looking for the perfect summer tipple? Smirnoff now does a Raspberry Crush vodka flavour and it's available in UK stores now.

Wonderfully smooth, the new booze is made with Smirnoff No. 1 Vodka and natural raspberry flavours for a deliciously fruity taste.

With a heatwave expected this week, we think it will make a lovely addition to summer evenings with friends and family. The brand recommends serving the new booze with lemonade over ice, or using it as a base in easy-to-serve cocktails.
