A Biscuit Brand Crossover
Colin the Caterpillar has seen many iterations, but a new concept design takes the famous cake into new territory: classic British biscuits. The mockup proposes a Jammy Dodger Colin the Caterpillar, merging the M&S chocolate log cake with the iconic shortcake-and-jam snack from Burton’s Biscuit Company.
The packaging mockup retains the familiar clear plastic lid and green card base of the standard M&S cake. It’s the details that have been reworked. Colin’s face is rendered in the distinctive raspberry-red of a Jammy Dodger, and the usual chocolate sprinkles have been replaced with small, heart-shaped decorations that mimic the biscuit’s central cut-out. The branding of both products is featured prominently on the sleeve, suggesting a direct collaboration.
The Colin the Caterpillar Franchise
A biscuit-themed cake would be a significant departure for the Colin brand, which has historically stuck to confectionery. While the core chocolate sponge roll cake remains the anchor of the range, M&S has expanded the line into a sprawling franchise that goes far beyond birthdays. The caterpillar now exists in numerous formats, most of them sweets.
The current lineup includes bags of `Colin the Caterpillar Softies`, `Speckles`, `Cola Gums`, and `Cherry Gums`. For those preferring sour sweets, there are also `Fruit Sours` and `Sour Stomps`. This willingness to experiment with flavour profiles is well established. The brand also extends to `Mini Colin the Caterpillar Cakes` for individual portions and a full range of partyware, including `Paper Plates` and `Party Cups`. A Jammy Dodger edition would be the first to cross over with a major biscuit brand, rather than a different flavour of sweet or chocolate.
What the real range looks like
The real M&S Colin the Caterpillar range is extensive, covering the original cake, Mini Cakes, and a wide array of sweets like Fruit Gums, Cola Gums, and Sour Stomps. A Jammy Dodger edition would represent a new direction, bringing a biscuit brand into a lineup currently focused on confectionery spin-offs.
