A Mega Colin!

Yes, I recommend this

This isn’t just any Colin the Caterpillar cake, this is a mega huge Colin the Caterpillar cake. The cake is nice, it’s basically a very much larger version of the one you can buy off the shelf. You will need to like chocolate to enjoy this cake, there is a lot of chocolate to get through. As bought cakes go it’s fine and doesn’t taste over processed. The chocolate buttercream really is chocolate buttercream. Not sure what to say. The children at the party swarmed on it like a pack of locusts and it was soon gone, vaguely reminiscent of scenes of Bruce Bogtrotter in Matilda

Overpriced for what it is.

No, I don't recommend this

Nothing special about the actual cake itself - just the same as the smaller shop bought versions. The addition of personalisation to mark the 'special birthday' doesn't make up for the hefty £50 price tag. In future we will just buy smaller versions from the store and use icing to personalise.

WILL NOT CATER FOR 40, SPONGE CAKE DRY

No, I don't recommend this

Decent sized cake, however will not cater for 40 people as advertised. You would have to serve mega thin slithers of cake but even then you would not get 40 slices. Sponge also quite dry, purchased much nicer moist cakes from other establishments for a lot less money. Would definitely not purchase again.
