'I went to M&S factory outlet and cost of giant cake left me floored'

A woman visited the Marks & Spencer factory outlet shop and was amazed by the cost of a huge cake. There are several supermarkets in the UK with bakery sections, but many shoppers hail M&S cakes as among the best of the bunch. There are large cakes for special occasions with different designs and flavours. However, these elaborate treats can really take a toll on your wallet. Travel content creator Nicole discovered where you can pick up your favourite M&S goods for a fraction of the usual price. She took to TikTok to share her findings and she said: 鈥淥h my God, right, I have found the factory where they make all the M&S fresh food and they have a factory shop.鈥 The foodie couldn鈥檛 contain her excitement as she showed viewers the M&S bargains she snagged from the shop. First she picked up a big bag full of mini chocolate caterpillars for 拢2.50. She also got a pack of flapjack bites for 拢2.50 and she remarked that the pack was 鈥渟o heavy.鈥 Nicole then bought a large bag of strawberry and cream mini bites, again for 拢2.50. She explained that the treats are so affordable because they 鈥渉ave all been slightly damaged,鈥 so they get sold in the factory shop instead of M&S stores across the country. She then said she found a whole lemon and sponge roll she picked up for just 50p and a sticky toffee pudding for 拢1.50. Nicole ended by revealing the biggest bargain of them all: an M&S Naked Vanilla cake for 拢7. In store, these cakes can set shoppers back around 拢30. The price of the cake was so good, she ended up buying two of them. The factory shop is called Park Cakes Company Shop and it is located in Oldham, near Manchester. Inside the hidden store, she spotted a Doug the Dog cake for 拢2.50 that she thought was 鈥渁n absolute bargain鈥 and full layer cakes for 拢10. The thrifty shopper explained that there are different items on offer each day. She shared: 鈥淲e went in for my daughter鈥檚 party and managed to get everything for like under 拢10.鈥 Nicole even found a large chocolate caterpillar treat for 拢1. The Park Cakes Company Shop is open to the public every day from Monday to Saturday but 17-year-olds are not allowed to go in. The content creator鈥檚 TikTok clip has amassed 1.2 million views, 66,900 likes and more than 600 comments, at the time of writing. One user said: 鈥淟iterally down the road from me! Love a cheeky Park Cakes trip.鈥 Another commented: 鈥淲hat?! I鈥檝e just stumbled across this and Googled it, it鈥檚 29 minutes away from me! Omg I鈥檓 going thank you lol.鈥 A third pleaded: 鈥淣o don鈥檛 put Park Cakes on the map.鈥 A fourth echoed: 鈥淧lease stop putting people onto Park Cakes! It鈥檚 my fave place.鈥
