Product Information

Colin the Caterpillar is something of an icon, and he’s been dressed up as an elf for the festivities. The cake itself has been slow-baked in small batches and then matured for at least three months before being finished with an ivory sugar paste and natural marzipan. It is now sold seasonally by some supermarkets in the UK. The cake is usually topped with marzipan fruits. [5] [6] Some recipes, such as the BBC Good Food and Mary Berry recipe, top the cake with marzipan holly leaves and berries instead of marzipan fruits. [7] [5] An early recipe does not include the chocolate and marzipan topping. [8]
