Colin the Caterpillar cake row crumbles
Marks & Spencer and Aldi have reached a settlement in a copyright row over caterpillar cakes. M&S had accused the German discounter of copying its Colin the Caterpillar cake. Aldi stopped selling its cake in February 2021, and in April last year M&S accused the supermarket of infringing its Colin the Caterpillar trademark. An M&S spokesman said: "The objective of the claim was to protect the in our Colin the Caterpillar cake and we are very pleased with the outcome." The M&S caterpillar is made of sponge cake with milk chocolate and buttercream, decorated with chocolate sweets and a white chocolate face.
