I have always been a big fan of the Hungry Caterpillar book by Eric Carle - I think it is the thought of the caterpiller munching his way through cake and cookies and lollipops that makes me smile. Today was Rosie's actual 4th birthday and I was so pleased to find these lovely hungry caterpillar polka dot cake cases and decorations - just so cute (available on line and in Waitrose if you want some!) My brother brought the rainbow chocolate drops over from a visit to the Bloomer chocolate factory which were the perfect addition on top of the buttermilk frosting! Happy Birthday Rosie Pea xxx
first of all, congrats on the book being in Harvey Nicks! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the cakes. My little girl (also 4) would love them, she loves the Hungry Caterpillar. But is it wrong that when I read it to her, I end up hungry?! ;o)
I've been a fan of your blog for such a long time I thought it was about time I commented, so..hello! *g*
ReplyDeleteI love the Hungry Caterpillar range at Waitrose, especially the little badges and pots, which are useful generally and not just for parties.
I went to Waitrose recently and snapped a few shots of the range as I love it so:

The cakes look delicious too. Yum.
Thank you for the lovely cake idea! My twins turn 3 in a few weeks and we were looking at pictures of Hungry Caterpillar cakes via google images, and one of them was TOTALLY taken by yours here and is calling it "her butterfly cake -- with the PINK candles!". She looked at your picture here for a good 30 minutes while I made dinner tonight!!!
ReplyDeleteAm off in search of the accessories a little closer to home -- I think I'll be able to find them here, too. Thanks for the inspiration!
