Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake

I created this hand-painted cake for a little man's 4th birthday party. I couldn't decide whether to make the fruit and foods from tinted gumpaste or to paint them. I finally decided to try out some painting. Anyone familiar with Eric Carle, know his style. I ended up not having quite enough room for the watermelon slice, but I figure the VHC ate enough fruits that it was okay. I was pleased with how this one turned out! Other details: Cake is a buttermilk vanilla. Frosting is vanilla bean american buttercream. Fondant covering was skipped since it was for a 4 yr old and friends, and I really didn't think it was necessary since I knew the buttercream could be smoothed out nicely.

If you would like a custom cake for a celebration, contact me! I'd love to create something wonderful for you.
