Giant Colin is the King of Birthday Cakes

Yes, I recommend this

Giant Colin is the best, no other birthday cake comes close. We originally bought Giant Colin nine years ago for our daughter’s 21st and we have now just ordered Giant Colin for her 30th birthday! We love Giant Colin. Giant Colin tastes even better than regular Colin birthday cake. M&S please never stop selling Giant Colin (and please don’t change the recipe). He’s the best. Thanks.😊

Impressed!

Impressed with the size of the cake, was a real talking point and my daughter loved it for her 21st party. Cake was moist too. It can be tricky to slice but I came equipped with a knife in hot water which worked well to slice through the chocolate coating. Would recommend

Giant Colin the Caterpillar cake.

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered this for my grandson’s christening as I could put a personal message on , plus as he is a young child I thought a chocolate cake would go down better than a fruit or sponge cake. He loved it and so did the guests at his christening.

Perfect Colin!

Yes, I recommend this

Excellent cake and a brilliant size for a Birthday treat! Bought for my son’s 30th Birthday. Plenty to go around. This is the second time that I have ordered. The first time was for my daughter’s wedding and she had Colin and Connie. They were fab and everyone commented on what a great idea instead of a wedding cake. The quality of the cake is amazing and it has thick chocolate and the sponge is soft. It really is scrummy. I feel this cake is good value for money at £50 and will definitely buy it again.

This truly is a giant Colin. Very chocolatey and sweet, it goes a long way. Easily fed 20 kids and parents at my son's birthday party. The guests loved it, it looks brilliant and tastes lovely. Personally, I think it's great value.

Giant Colin looked fabulous

Giant Colin looked fabulous as always although and made a great table centerpiece. It was slightly drier than regular size Colins and a bit tricky to portion. My 18 year old was delighted with it though and had requested it after so many for previous birthdays.
