I made this homemade Hungry Caterpillar birthday cake for my baby girl’s first birthday. I used a yellow cake mix in a bunt cake pan. I cut off the bottom of the bunt cake to make it flat and used the discarded cake to shape the head and the end of the tail. I cut … Read more

I found a picture in a blog of this collection of cake and cupcakes. There are 22 cupcakes arranged to be the body of the caterpillar. Each is iced with green frosting in a swirl pattern. The 12 cupcakes on the outside edge have sprinkles pressed into the frosting to look like hairs. This part … Read more

We decided to make a ‘Very Hungry Caterpillar’ birthday cake for my son’s first birthday, and it turned out wonderfully! I have no experience in making or icing cakes, but this wasn’t too difficult (time consuming yes – it took about 2 hours to ice!, but not difficult). We used two bundt tins to make … Read more

This Hungry Caterpillar birthday cake was really fun to make. I used a 10″ cake tin and this to was double up to be able to fill with homemade butter cream and strawberry jam.

I got bored a few summers back when I first started making cakes. I decided to make a Caterpillar Birthday Cake, kind of a cross between the Very Hungry Caterpillar and Cooties (from the game). Anyway I made a bundt cake and cut it in sections and placed them upright to give it more of … Read more

This Hungry Caterpillar Cake was for my son’s 1st birthday. He has a caterpillar that he carries everywhere so it made sense that his first cake would be a copy of his best friend. I made the body using a bundt cake cut into sections iced with 2 shades of green icing. The sections are … Read more

I made this Hungry Caterpillar Birthday Cake for my son’s 1st birthday last January when there was big publicity for the Hungry Caterpillar story, celebrating it’s (40th?) anniversary. I still had some ready-made, ready-to-roll icing left over from the Christmas cake season, and used this to make the caterpillar. The cake is a basic sponge … Read more

There is homemade strawberry jam … Read more
