Caterpillar Cake

SUBMITTED BY: Heather Walker  PHOTO BY: Allrecipes 

"This is a great cake to do after a unit on bugs, wildlife, etc. Have the kids help decorate it! Use licorice whips for antennas, or gumdrops. Spread icing around caterpillar and sprinkle green tinted coconut for grass. Use any flavor cake mix or any Bundt cake recipe."
