Customer review: "Ordered personalised Colin the Caterpillar for my dad's 80th -fed 40!! Personalisation was spot on, and the cake was absolutely delicious. It's good value for money, as the cake maker would have charged a lot more, and it wouldn’t have been such top quality. Thank you for putting a smile on my dad's face."

You can't go wrong with chocolate cake; this generously sized one from Sainsbury's is a must for chocoholics. This scrummy chocolate cake is layered with chocolate ganache frosting and decorated with chocolate decorations.

Customer review: "A large cake that would easily feed 20 generous slices or, as it says, 28 normal portions! It freezes well ( I had a bit left over). The loose chocolate balls on top are unnecessary and fall off and get in the way of the knife, but I would buy it again for a large crowd. It was moist and looked lovely and tasted good."

Dressed with 16th cake toppers, making it look quite special. I would definitely buy it again. Shop-bought cakes I've purchased in the past have been quite dry, but this was surprisingly moist and tasty."
