The Very Hungry Caterpillar Cake~



Happy Friday, everyone!!!
I just got back from buying boxes for this weekends orders.  On my way home, while I was driving through Doylestown, I noticed all of the sharply dressed people strolling through town.  I felt a slight twinge of envy thinking about where I'd go or who I'd meet up with if I had a weekend night free.  I quickly flashed back to what I had waiting for me at home, the reason I went out for the boxes, the reason I rarely get a night out, and most importantly, the reason I think that I have the BEST job in the world!!!  {see below!} Thank you to Ashley for ordering such a cute cake! xo



I hand painted all of the fondant details with food color that I mixed with a little vodka.   The vodka evaporates out quickly but you could use lemon juice to thin out the food color, if you prefer.



               Happy 1st Birthday, little Nicholas!!

    Thanks so much!! I mix food coloring with a tiny bit of vodka and paint it right on the fondant. The vodka evaporates quickly but you could also use lemon juice in place of the vodka.
    Good luck! I would love to see pics. of the finished product!! : )
