I also used pinterest for inspiration for the menu. I knew I wanted to do some theme foods but some of my favorites as well.


Smash Cake
I had to make Luke an egg free smash cake. I made it a 6 inch cake with the Wilton Round pan. I used an egg free cake recipe I found on pinterest without egg replacer. I used a buttercream icing. On top, I drew a caterpillar and on the sides I used Sprees candy to copy the dots from the Hungry Caterpillar book.


Cupcakes
My favorite cupcakes are funfetti so I made funfetti cupcakes to put on the cupcake tower. I bought the cupcake liners from the Eric Carle Museum in the dots pattern. They are from the UK so the size is strange.

Mini Cakes
I didn't want to have to decide what kind of cake to make so I decided to make a few mini cakes instead. I wanted a carrot cake, a strawberry shortcake, chocolate ganache cake and a chocolate whipped cream cake. I made 2 cakes from the Wilton 6 inch round for all of them and split them with thread to make 4 layers.

Hungry Caterpillar Cake Pops
I also saw these on pinterest and fell in love with them. I honestly didn't realize how hard it would be to get a cake pop to look nice! That's way more difficult than it looks. I used the babycakes cake pop maker and Wilton chocolate melts (in green and red) to make the cakepops. I like the cake balls way more than I expected- they remind me of donut holes. YUM. I displayed them using styrofoam and easter grass.


Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Yum. I love chocolate covered strawberries and knew I needed to make them.

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods
For the adults, the party favor is a chocolate covered pretzel rod but I also served them at the party.


Candy
I served candy in small bowls to go with the color theme. I had sprees, m&ms, m&m peanut, and runts.
