Many thanks to the others on C/C for the cute idea for this cake. The colors matched those on the invitations, plates, and napkins. The sheet cake (11x15) is white and cherry chip (swirl), and the caterpillar bodies (Wilton Mini Ball pan) are Cherry chip. All b/c frosting. Antenae are made from red candy melts. Apply melted candy in shape of antenae to foil with #3 or 4 tip. Let set, and apply second coat and fill in round area at tips. Put in freezer for 30 min. or so. With a sharp, thin bladed knife, carefully lift the antenae from the foil. Insert into caterpillar head.
Thanks to Heathercollins0614 for this inspiration! I used 14" round pan, and 2, 13 X 9 pans to cut the pointy pieces, and the cockpit, and a 6" round pan (cut 1 inch high) for the upper deck. All chocolate cake, All buttercream frosting. I ran out of time so I didn't get to "Viva" the smooth sections and the sides. I would have liked to have done more detail on the sides too. Still, my 7 year old grandson (and his guestsand their parents) were very impressed. I had trouble molding the radar screen, the guns and turet out of Royal Icing, so I improvised by using 2 cut straws in playdoh - dried and spray painted. The radar screen was a new suction cup, spray painted and inserted with a toothpick. The cockpit windows could have been better if I didn't have such a shakey hand. I turned 68 on Friday.....not as young as I used to be!!
Thanks to a lot of others on CC for the inspiration of this cake. I needed a small cake to go along w/ a Batman shaped cake for my grandson's 5th. Birthday party. This was just what I needed in the time I had to make it. I would have loved to have done the city scene around the bottom but time didn't permit. This was chocolate cake, Torted once. Buttercream Frosting.
This is the Wilton, Batman pan that comes with plastic face, and chest plate. I don't know why, but the mask was turquoise, so I used Black, permanent marker to color it in. It worked and my grandson loved it. Chocolate Cake with all buttercream frosting.
Thanks to T-Hawkins for inspiring this cake. The graduate chose these colors to match that of her open-huse "theme". The sheet cake was yellow/chocolate swirl, and the cap was Cherry Chip cake. All buttercream frosting with AmeriColor Electric Blue, Pink, Green & Purple colors.
Thanks to Vyvyan for inspiring me to try this. The graduate chose the colors to match her open-house "theme". The bottom "present" was chocolate cake w/ chocolate, peanut butter frosting between torted layers, and white B/C over. The middle "present" was lemon cake, torted with Red Raspberry jam between layers, and white B/C (and a hint of lemon juice) frosting over. The top "present" was Carrot Cake, torted with Cream Cheese frosting between and over. It was delicious. I cut cake boards for each size and covered w/ foil and sat them over dowel rods so they could be easily removed for cutting. I stacked them when we reached the destination and unfortunately, the pictures were taken before I put the borders around each present. :(
I used the Wilton (boy) Graduate pan...and tweeked it to portray girl graduate with bouquet. This graduate chose the colors of her gown to match that of her school, and flowers to match her open-house "theme".

Wilton "Cars" pan. Requested by grandson on his 5th. birthday. All B/C and star tip.
Wilton Graduate pan. All B/C frosting w/ star tip. This is really a purple gown, but in the sun/heat, purple tends to go blue. It was nice at the time.
Double sheet cake. Chocolate swirl w/ chocolate B/C frosting. Free hand writing and numbers filled w/ b/c & star tip. Diploma created on computer in Old English font. Ribbon blew away in the wind.
Sculpted shape, all B/C. Frosted smooth using VIVA method. Lots of things went wrong and had to do last minute improvising for windows, truck grill, and ladders, b/c original methods did not turn out. Not my best effort - but 3 year old Grandson loved it and didn't know the difference.

Cake frosted with B/C. "Toppings" are created with Cool Whip and White Chocolate pudding mix, tinted in 3 pastel colors and applied w/ large tip to look like it is flowing down. Wilton's Jumbo Rainbow Nonpareils and Smiley face candles complete the whimsical look. Must refrigerate until served.
Butter/Cream frosting all over...with Royal Icing flowers, Wilton confetti on wheels, and real ribbon bow.
This cake is featured in the Wilton 1995 Year book. The tiered cake has 3 tiers...there is a Star shaped tier on top of the bottom round tier. I think I should have use a purple border on that one to show it better. The bottom tier was white cake torted in 3 layers with white frosting over and between. The Star tier was chocolate cake torted in 3 layers with white frosting over and chocolate peanut-butter frosting between layers. (Chocolate frosting + peanut-butter to taste.) The top tier was lemon cake mix, torted in 3 layers with white frosting with a light touch of Lemon juice to taste over, and Raspberry Jam between layers. Stars on side of cake and on lolly pop sticks are color flow. Very fragile....that's why I didn't use all that were recommended...due to breakage.
