Very Hungry Caterpillar - Birthday Cake

[Eclaire 10]

Has anybody made a Very Hungry Caterpillar birthday cake?

 

I've got a picture in my head of how I want my little boys first birthday cake to look.

 

A small round cake with red icing for the head and then lots of cupcakes topped with big swirls of green icing. Little black feet and spinkles for the hairy bits on his back....

 

I haven't got any cake decorating experience or equipment so don't know where to start. The colours would have to be just right.....

 

Ideas, comments and offers of help welcome!!

I made two cakes for my daughters 5th birthday.... never made one before, may never make one again but....

 

 

....got ready coloured ready to roll icing from a little shop in chesterfield, alternatively can get off net. If not, food colouring paste and add to white icing.

 

I got a leaflet off the till at morrisons the other day too that told you how to do a cupcake swirl etc.. could be useful?

 

 

...just go for it, will be fine!
