The Gordon’s Divine Duo Cupcakes have been created as part of an extended partnership between the Diageo-owned gin brand and the Finsbury Food Group in the UK. The cupcakes come in packs of six servings with three pink vanilla sponge cakes and three vanilla sponge cakes, which are both topped with gin-flavored frosting. Arriving at Tesco, the cupcakes are priced at £4 and feature Gordon's recognizable logo to catch the eye of curious shoppers.
Finsbury Food Group's Brand Manger Emma Hamilton explained the inspiration for the new Gordon’s Divine Duo Cupcakes saying, "After seeing consumers flock to purchase the Gordon’s Premium Pink Cake last summer, we knew that there was a further appetite to combine Diageo’s much-loved portfolio of drink brands with our expertise and bring to market innovative products in new formats."
