M&S caterpillar cake war: What has Aldi done?

The second flavour is Raspberry Ripple – layers of madeira sponge, sweet raspberry jam, creamy vanilla buttercream and freeze-dried raspberry pieces.
And finally there’s the Trillionaire’s Cake jar – layers of madeira sponge with salted caramel sauce, chocolate ganache, milk chocolate shortcake balls and fudge pieces.
Now Aldi has unveiled a trio of cake jars – and one of them just happens to look suspiciously like the M&S Colin one.
