Baby Einstein Caterpillar Cake

For my son's first birthday, I wanted to create the Baby Einstein caterpillar that was on many of his favorite toys. I used the Wilton ball pan and two and a half batches of batter to make the five caterpillar sections. I frosted these with buttercream. The feet are nothing but frosting and I just played with the yellow frosting and shaped it until I got a look I liked. I made the face and antennae on the top with black and pink decorating gel.

For the background, I made two 9 X 13 cakes, cut them lengthwise, then spread them out. This gave me enough area to place all the caterpillar sections. These I frosted these cakes with chocolate buttercream, which I patted down with my fingers to resemble dirt. I used green-colored buttercream to pipe in some "grass", and then used the leftover buttercream from my caterpillar sections to frost the sides of the cake. Finally, to create my son's name, I painted some wooden craft store letters and glued them to dowels, which I also painted green. I wanted them to look like flowers popping out of the dirt.

This was my first attempt at a large-scale cake like this and it was a hit at the party!
