Tesco Chocolate Caterpillar Birthday Cake

Tesco celebratory cakes. Lets take a walk down memory lane – it is your fifth birthday and Mum sets to with her mixing bowl and produces an amazing Victoria sponge sandwich complete with butter cream and jam in the middle and butter cream, birthday candles and your name written in Smarties on the top of it. Many years ago no birthday girl or boy would have ever felt wholly complete unless that special celebratory cake appeared on the tea table. But we have to move along with the times and I think that the major supermarket chains offer some wonderful celebratory cakes nowadays. Every child is ... more

A couple of months ago my daughter celebrated her 7th birthday and the weeks leading up to it the dreaded words “birthday party” kept cropping up into conversation around the dinner table. Not wanting to disappoint my little cherub (ahem, yeah right) I set about planning a celebration never to be forgotten, as I knew that she was now nearing an age where birthday parties were seen to be uncool. This could be her last one and as she had asked so nicely how could I refuse. As the big day got ever nearer, I was quite pleased as everything was coming along nicely.

We’ve had a birthday in our house recently. Normally I always bake a cake but for some reason this year my ten year old daughter who tries so desperately hard to pretend she is at least three years older decided she wanted a shop bought novelty cake.

Despite me being 24 on my next birthday, my Mum still likes to spoil me and get me a birthday cake. The year before last, her choice of cake was the "Curly The Caterpillar Chocolate Cake" and I have to say I was very impressed with her choice. Packaging The box was lime green in colour with a sheet of plastic over the main part of the cake, meaning you can see that cake while it is still in the box. All the usual information is written on the box such as nutritional information and storage instructions. Cost Although, as I already mentioned, this cake was bought for me, I have to admit that ... more

As I have lots of nieces & nephews and quite a few friends with children now it's not unusual for me and 'Curly' the chocolate caterpillar cake from Tesco to meet at least a couple of times a year. Curly is a chocolate cake from Tesco, currently available for £4.98 and serving around 10-15 people (dependant on serving size!). Curly has lots of segments to show that he is a real Caterpillar cake, he has a face on one end as well as coloured feet made out of icing and he has a thick, chocolate, icing style coat which breaks away quite easily to help make a mess all over your table! There is ... more
