I saw many Baby Einstein Caterpillar Cakes on this site but I decided to give it my own perfectionist twist for my son’s first birthday! This cake was made with 5 different cake mixes using the Wilton sports ball cake pan. Each ball was covered with fondant.
I rubbed water on each ball to give it that nice shine. The coconut around the caterpillar was dyed with green food coloring. The Baby Einstein Caterpillar Cake was presented on a piece of wood cut to look like the caterpillar had been munching on a leaf!
This cake is beautiful! How long did it take? How did you get the fondant to be shiny like that? It looks just like the Baby Einstein Caterpillar!
