Enjoyable

Cake was enjoyed by my husband on his 70th birthday and family and friends. Chocolate is good, the white chocolate on the cake is a little sweet

Big, bold and tasty.

Yes, I recommend this

Colin, over the years despite his shrinkage, has become our family ‘go to’ for birthdays. For a bigger group and for great impact the custom made is perfect. Big, fresh, chocolatey and the personalised message gives the bespoke touch. He stole the show!!

Wedding cake Giant Colin !

Yes, I recommend this

Fantastically large Colin for my daughters wedding. We cut it into half slices which was plenty per person. Delicious and moist. Went down well. I would definitely recommend 👌

Perfect 18th Birthday cake

Yes, I recommend this

Even better than the usual Colin. Moist and tasty. It was an 18th birthday cake and I’d say it feeds fewer than 40 people. Cut down the middle and then in slices instead of the usual way as it’s so big. We added mini Colins around the giant Colin and stuck faces of my 18 year old’s friends on the little ones. It was brilliant!

We purchased this for my brothers 60th party & it was a real hit! I’ll admit I was a little taken back at the size when I collected it - Colin was huge! Very fresh and tasted incredible. Plenty to go round.

Delicious but messy!

Yes, I recommend this

Delicious chocolate roll, moist and tasty. Very difficult to cut into 40 slices though mainly due to the chocolate coating that breaks away as soon as it is cut. Our guests ended up with a slice of sponge and then broken pieces of the chocolate coating on top. Very messy to cut, even harder where the feet are attached.

Giant Colin Scored!!!

Yes, I recommend this

Colin the caterpillar has donned many birthday tables so having a Giant Colin for our combined 100th Birthday celebration (my 70th and my son’s 30th) seemed like the perfect cake to top off the weekend. And it was! Giant Colin fed almost 30 people with some left over. Also had a normal size gluten-free Colin which was also delish. Thank you M&S —always yummy food.

Birthday cake for an octogenarian

Yes, I recommend this

The cake was big enough for our party with some to spare afterwards but very easy to make the slices too big. Supremely chocolatey for everyone whether 5 or 80. Looked good, tasted wonderful!
