Forget Colin (or Cuthbert) the Caterpillar – we’ve teamed up with Chris Murphy, baker to the stars, to help you make your own showstopping (and secretly quite easy) birthday cakes for the gang.

Icing your Christmas cake is fun and a great way to get yourself in the Christmas spirit. You can keep it simple or go full-on-festive – the hardest thing is deciding how you want to do it.
