I originally was going to do a generic cupcake caterpillar cake but I couldn't pass up the chance to do a Very Hungry Caterpillar cake! It is a great theme and quite an easy and effective cake. I used a fluted bundt/ring tin to make the cake (the bumps from the fluted part probably weren't necessary but looked great even without icing!) I did a double packet cake mix, which was handy as could cut it thinner and use the excess for his head. I cut the ring into 3 and arranged it into shape. Then coloured 2 different greens and iced his body alternating the colours and mixing as I went. (And red for the head of course) I ended up using fondant for the extra bits, which allowed me to create whatever shape I needed and worked well. I was thinking of using snake lollies and pineapple lollies but the fondant was very free.
