The Very Hungry Caterpillar cake is a two-tier, fondant cake created for a double baby shower at my husband's office.

The cake was made up of a white cake with lemon filling layer and a white cake with cream cheese filling layer.

Both layers are covered in fondant and feature hand-painted artwork in the style of the book, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" which was authored and illustrated by Eric Carle.

I tried to mimic the art style of the book as best I could and created food from gumpaste, punch holes for the caterpillar trail, and painted them to mimic Mr Carle's art style.

 I created a 3D caterpillar using fondant and a gumpaste butterfly with a fondant body.
