I absolutely loved making this Hungry Caterpillar Cake. It was for a repeat client of mine for whom I have made several cakes for grandchildren and great grandchildren! This cake was for Otto who was having his 1st birthday and loved the Hungry Caterpillar. It is a vanilla No 1 cake and I split it in half and filled it with my homemade Strawberry Jam and Buttercream (not an easy task!).
I made the Hungary Caterpillar out of fondant and made some fruit to go with him, a little cupcake and a slice of cheese. They all looked really effective on top of the cake. I used pale green buttercream to compliment the green in the Caterpillar and around the bottom of the cake I used the icing nozzle that makes grass (I'm sure it has a special name but I have no idea what it is!). I cut out fondant flowers and leaves and decorated the base of the cake with them. I also made some bigger leaves and piped Otto's name on them. I got this idea from www.lucys-cakes.com she makes amazing toppers for birthday cakes, so please have a look if you need any ideas for childrens birthday cakes.
Happy Birthday Otto
