Do you have a favorite birthday tradition? For many of us, a delicious cake absolutely makes or breaks the day. There are all kinds to enjoy, of course, but there’s one cake in particular that’s especially popular in the UK. That cake is Colin the Caterpillar. Created in 1990 by retailer Marks & Spencer (M&S), this caterpillar-shaped treat quickly became a household staple. While I can’t speak to how it tastes, the adorable appearance alone makes it easy to understand why it became so popular!

Sure, this husband could have found a replacement for the cake — it probably would have been just as delicious! Instead, he took the time and effort to recreate the cake his wife deserves. How thoughtful and adorable is that? You can tell his effort means the world to her.
