Marks & Spencer whip up Colin the Caterpillar trifle to celebrate 30 years of iconic cake
It's no secret that one of the best things about birthdays is the cake - and you can't go wrong with a Colin the Caterpillar one from Marks & Spencer.

So how do you go about making your own?
Well first you'll want to nip down to your nearest Marks & Spencer store and pick up a few items.
Ingredients wise, you'll need:
Six slices of a Colin the Caterpillar cake (sliced roughly one inch thickness)
1 x 500g tub of chilled custard
300g of milk chocolate broken into small pieces
1 x 300ml tub of whipping cream
300g of white chocolate chunks
Jazzie sprinkles
A packet of mini Colin faces and to top it all off, the giant face from the Colin cake.
And here's a look at the recipe's method...
To assemble, start by arranging your cake slices in a deep glass trifle bowl, placing two on the bottom and four around the sides - so you can see the swirl.
The next step is to make chocolate custard, which you do by putting the custard and 100g of the milk chocolate into a pan over a low heat.

While this is melting, semi-whip 300ml of the cream until soft peaks form, then mix in the melted chocolate until fully incorporated. Pour evenly into the trifle bowl, over the slices and pop in the fridge to chill.
Now to whip up a white chocolate ganache.
Soften the white chocolate chunks by microwaving for one minute on a medium heat.
Heat 100ml of the whipping cream in a pan on a low heat until simmering. Immediately pour over the softened white chocolate then leave to stand for five minutes. Beat with a fork until the mixture is smooth and coming together.
Spread over the mousse in the trifle bowl and return to fridge to chill.
When the mousse has set, remove the trifle from the fridge and add the chocolate custard, leaving enough room to add cream on top.
To complete the decadent dessert, whip the remaining cream until fully whipped and spread over the custard layer, then decorate with sprinkles and the Colin faces.
Et Voilà - one Colin the Caterpillar trifle.
M&S also shared a top baking tip in their post, which was that if you cover the chocolate custard with cling film while it's cooling, pressing it down onto the surface, this should prevent it from forming a skin.

Quarantine restrictions may be imposed on Brits returning from Switzerland, Greece, the Czech Republic or Iceland following an increase in cases over the past week
Four countries that could be added to the quarantine list next
Switzerland could be added to the UK's 'quarantine' list this week as the rate of infection continues to surge.
Other popular holiday destinations seeing a rise in infections includes Greece, Iceland and the Czech Republic.
Officials from the Joint Biosecurity Centre - which decides what countries should stay on the list - are said to be scrutinising the numbers closely.
An announcement announcing new restrictions on holidaymakers could be made on Thursday, with many experts speculating that Switzerland is set to be axed from the 'safe' list.
On Tuesday, the country reported 148 new Covid cases, an increase from 141 cases on Saturday and 117 cases on Saturday.
Last week, Croatia, Austria and Trinidad and Tobago were stripped from the 'safe' list of countries, following a spike in cases.
The announcement gave holidaymakers just 30 hours to get home before the restrictions were imposed, with some holidaymakers spending hundreds of pounds to get home in time.

Now we've examined the latest data to see where the rate of infection is rising in popular destinations across Europe.
The number of new cases in Switzerland could see it swiftly added to the quarantine list as the rate of infection rose to 21.1 new cases per 100,000 over the last seven days, up from 18 for the previous week.
The price of a ticket has rocketed amid speculation - with holidaymakers having to fork out more than £500 for a one-way flight.

The Czech Republic could also join France and Spain on the quarantine list - as the rate of infection has surged to 18.6 from 16.
Meanwhile, in Iceland, the rate of infection has jumped to 16.5 from 14.6, putting it under increased scrutiny.
And a surge of cases in Greece saw the cumulative rate jump to 14.9 from 13.7 - meaning it is also under close watch.

Alongside the snap, Halle wrote: "Happy #FitnessFriday everyone!! Motivation is KEY these days, and while @peterleethomas and I will often work out without music, a good playlist can be a game changer!
"So today, we're sharing our #SummerPlaylist, the songs we've been sweating to all summer (especially in this #HeatWave!)."
Naturally, fans rushed to the comments section to swoon of Halle's impressive look.

Actress Lala Anthony penned: "Wow," alongside lovestruck emojis.
One fan penned: "Always has and always will be a sensational looking woman."
Another wrote: "Wow you look amazing!"
While a third added: "You are just incredible."
The mum-of-two has previously admitted she's keen to avoid cosmetic surgery and wants to age gracefully.

In a chat with Yahoo Beauty, Halle declared she has no plans to go under the knife.
She said: "When you see everybody around you doing it [having surgery], you have those moments when you think, 'To stay alive in this business, do I need to do the same thing?'
"I won't lie and tell you that those things don't cross my mind, because somebody is always suggesting it to me.
"It's almost like crack that people are trying to push on you. That's what I feel like."

She went on: "I just have kept reminding myself that beauty really is as beauty does, and it is not so much about my physical self.
"Aging is natural, and that's going to happen to all of us...
"I just want to always look like myself, even if that's an older version of myself."
She added: "I think when you do too much of that cosmetic stuff, you become somebody else in a way."
Halle is mum to two kids daughter Nahla, 12, from her relationship with Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo-Robert, six, from her marriage to Olivier Martinez.

These days he's a Sky Sports co-commentator, but there was a time when Alan Smith was a highly-prized forward.

You know, Karl Hein.
The young Estonian goalkeeper is passing through the ranks at Arsenal at the moment, but he could have been a United player if it wasn't for the... Manchester traffic.
"I went to every club to show myself," he told the Estonian FA this year.
"I was at United for three days, in other clubs for a little longer. The first impression might have been deceptive, but it seemed to me that discipline and the organisational side, as well as other details, were at a higher level at Arsenal.
"In Manchester, for example, transport was always late, which is why I was late for training.
"The reception at Arsenal was very friendly and the club left a very good impression, because, let’s be honest, there was no difference in terms of level because both Arsenal and United are among the top in the world."
