Spunky Caterpillar Cake

Kaitlyn's class has a Valentine's Day party today, so Go Blue mom decided to have a little fun and make Kaitlyn and her classmates a special V-day treat. I call it our Spunky Caterpillar Cake.



Kaitlyn helped make the cake and icing, but mommy did the decorating while Kaitlyn hung out with daddy. Sure hope her classmates and she enjoy it!!

Spunky caterpillar's face - I used Twizzler pull and peel for the antlers/antennas (whatever they're called!)

This body piece makes me think of a 'biker dude' with heart and V tattoo's and the piped 'hair'. Inspired by the 80's hairband piece you'll see in a minute.

Piped stars and lines - not as exciting as some of the other body pieces.

This body piece has light pink icing covered with pink edible shimmer powder. Kaitlyn likes the shimmer powder!

Sprinkles were a must, so this body piece (one of the last decorated) got a little of everything, dots, stars, sprinkles, shimmer and 'hair' for the feet.

A sprinkle body piece just for Kaitlyn - gotta have those sprinkles mommy!!

My favorite body piece inspired by 80's hairband music that I was listening to while decorating the caterpillar. It was my first time using the hair/grass icing tip and I loved how it turned out. This piece along with the 'biker dude' add some spunk to her cake!

The tail of the caterpillar - simple with star and dots to compliment the head and bring it all together.

Hope you enjoy it Kaitlyn!!! Thanks for helping mommy!!!
