Best supermarket birthday cake?

[EachandEveryone]

In all my years Ive never worked a birthday 🎂. Im a nurse so usually request it off. Anyway, I forgot so I need to buy a cake to take in. I thems the rules. So, I have M and S, Asda, Morrissons or Sainsburys nearby. Are any of them better than the other? Anything else I should take in?

Thanks in advance.

Either Colin or one from asda. Asda do great birthday cakes (and have a good choice of dairy and gluten free ones too!)

Sainsburys salted caramel cake, yum 😋

Tesco’s Happy Birthday cubes, lovely and chocolatey, also no need to cut it up, we always get this for the football team. Easy at the side of a pitch....

No, not Colin, get the Sainsbury version which is far superior in every way, except possibly its name (Wiggles).

I like the M&S celebration cake which is plain sponge with jean and buttercream filling, with a white fondant icing and colourful iced stars on. Oooo OR the Sainsbury’s traybake covered in buttercream and tutti fruttis is really good.

^jam and buttercream, not jean

Forget Colin. Get the White Chocolate & Strawberry cake at M&S instead.

Of course it's Colin. The birthday person gets the face. (Apparently they now do packets of mini faces.) saw one in M& S reduces yo £1 the other day. I was so tempted!

I love Colin but find the M&S or Sainsbury's traybakes or the cartons of mini chocolate roll/brownies easier to transport to work and to share there.

@EachandEveryone if your colleagues are anything like mine Colin will be eaten so quick you won't even get a slice.

We were given a Costco cake the other week for being awarded Pathway to excellence. There was a bit to much icing but omg the sponge was amazing!

M&S hands down the nicest cakes I’ve ever had. The chocolate cake with stars is really good. Also the ballon jam and sponge cake is really nice too. Very fresh I’ve never had any issues.

Have you heard about Colin, perchance?

I bought the M&S rainbow one last week and has replaced Colin as the family favourite!

Thorntons sticky toffee Birthday cake. Available at asda, lovely and moist, one of the nicest supermarket cakes I've had. Or Tesco's Caterpillar cake.

I love Asda's rainbow cake.

M&S cookies and cream cake

Colin

This one

DS had a slice of that in the cafe earlier this week, it was really good

Colin ia amzing and Connie is an abomination !!

Sainsbury's do a beautiful giant cupcake, it's to die for.

Whatever you do avoid Morrison's, vile.

Definitely M&S. I’m not bothered about Colin, but their normal birthday cakes are much nicer than similar ones from other supermarkets.

M&S chocolate birthday cake.
Think it's in a purple box.
It's fabulous. God I want cakes

I bought this cake for my DM's birthday this weekend and was actually very impressed. Not an Asda shopper normally but this was very pretty and tasted lovely. Plus a bargain at only £11
