Colin the Caterpillar is getting a 25th birthday make-over

Katie Mythen-Lynch

One of the most popular children’s birthday cakes ever is getting a make-over to celebrate 25 years of candles and wishes. 

Marks & Spencers’ ever popular Colin the Caterpillar, traditionally a chocolate sponge roll filled with chocolate buttercream and covered in milk chocolate with a white chocolate face, is getting a special edition update. His new look will include new coloured feet, a party hat and a sprinkling of chocolate-coated popping candy.
