Ghoulish makeover for Colin the Caterpillar
High-end retailer Marks & Spencer (M&S) has launched a ghoulish variant of its classic Colin the Caterpillar cake in time for Halloween.
The creepy crawly chocolate cake – which has become known for being a staple of children’s birthday parties in the UK – now features ominous red eyes, fake blood splatters up its back and is covered in sugar-coated maggots. M&S has launched a smaller variant of the cake as well.
Also on offer from the retailer are a sourdough loaf with a cobweb design on top, gingerbread biscuits made to look like pumpkins and a meatloaf ‘bandaged’ in pastry to resemble a mummy.
