Homemade Caterpillar Birthday Cake

Homemade Caterpillar Birthday Cake

This Homemade Caterpillar Birthday Cake was for niece Katie-Beth's 11th birthday. I bake all the birthday cakes for my nephew, his wife and their 11 kids!! What fun to see their expectant faces as I arrive at the parties!

I baked a strawberry cake mix with added mini chocolate chips in a bundt pan. I cut the baked cake into 5 sections (I think!) and connected them with a light layer of the icing - tub of purchased cream cheese icing with enough cocoa powder mixed in to make a nice milk chocolate flavor and firmer consistency. The stripe down the back of the "pillar" is chopped slivered almonds.

The rest of the decorations speak for themselves, I think. The candles were placed at an angle along the sides of the cake. It was exceptionally moist and yummy! Take a look at her sister Kassie-Jo's butterfly cake, the transformation of this caterpillar two weeks later!

Nice picture of that cake. To bad they put the website over the Caterpillar. It must be nice to be famous.
