M&S launch limited edition LGBT+ caterpillar cake just in time for Valentine's

Marks and Spencer has launched a limited edition version of its fan favourite caterpillar cakes just in time for Valentine's Day.

In a bid to be more inclusive, the high street giant is now selling Colin and Connie the Caterpillar cakes in same-gender sets.

Last year, foodies could get their hands on Colin and Connie in a pack together, but now, M&S are selling two of the same cakes in a pack for just £10 as part of the store's Valentine's Day range.

The caterpillars have also had a makeover with their signature look now being decorated with milk chocolate hearts and heart-shaped sprinkles.

The inclusivity doesn't stop there for M&S however, as once again, they are bringing back cards for same-gender couples and having them less gender-specific to make their Valentine's Day range more inclusive.

The announcement post on Instagram, which was double-tapped over 11,500 times, was welcomed by the LGBT+ community.

One supporter commented: "I'm buying myself these for valentines."

While another added: "Perfect for date night."

A third penned: "As if Colin could get any better. Need these."

A fourth explained: "Love this, who said romance doesn't exist??"

Others commented asking if M&S could make more of their popular ranges available in gluten free to which they replied saying it is something their food team is working on.
