Homemade Baby Einstein Caterpillar Cake

Homemade Baby Einstein Caterpillar Cake

For my son's first birthday I found this site and was inspired by the other Baby Einstein Caterpillar cakes. This is my take on it!

Two Wilton Ball pans, 5 cake mixes and 4 hours of icing. The tail and feet are halves of iced Twinkies, his antennae are Twizzlers. I drew the eyes and mouth on before starring the head. We gave our son the head to "smash".

I did the sections in different flavors, chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, and he is sitting on a 3 foot board that I covered with a scrap piece of fabric. There was PLENTY of cake to go around. Unsure of exactly how much icing would be needed, I went ahead and bought the big tub of Wilton premade icing at Walmart. As well as the 12 pack Wilton gel coloring.

The picture doesn't do the colors justice, they were such pure, vibrant colors!

What kind of cake mix did you use?

I just bought the pan to make your cake. My cake did not get done in the middle and was like liquid.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share! My son is turning 1 this month and giggles every time he sees the baby Einstein caterpillar go across the screen so this is going to be great! With my Mom coming in town maybe it can turn out as well as yours but...I don't know...you did an amazing job!!

That is amazing. Especially to think that those little legs are actually Twinkies. It puts the size in perspective. Kudos to you!

Just ran out and bought the pan. Last one in the store - no directions with it but that's okay. Thanks for the inspiration. Awesome!
