A staple of UK office birthday parties, the Colin the Caterpillar cake has become one of the most popular cakes in the UK. For those of you who spend your time arguing about who eats the caterpillar face, I've got good news for you, because Marks and Spencer is selling Colin the Caterpillar's face as a stand-alone snack .
Yes, the time has finally come. That delicious white chocolate smiley may have been a one-off treat in the past, but now you can buy a whole bag to enjoy - for just £1. Of course, in the past, these faces were miniature, but we all know that's not the same as full-sized faces.
The Caterpillar himself even commented on the news. "My head has definitely gotten bigger since Colin Mini Faces got so much attention!" he said (via Delish). “I’ve had so much love from my fans during lockdown and I’m so happy they can enjoy video calls with me all year round!”
As if that wasn't exciting enough, M&S has launched another Caterpillar-themed treat: gift bags filled with Colin the Caterpillar goodies. Whether you have a birthday coming up or just want to bring some caterpillar joy into lockdown, this £25 hamper includes the cake itself as well as fondant, mini Colin faces and mini Colin the Caterpillar cakes.
