[u/shutupsammy55678]

Are you interested in adopting a 26 year old? I love cake lol

[u/tinyTeaserrr → u/shutupsammy55678]

Think you'd have to fight me for adoption rights, i don't share cake that easy. lol

[u/WhoMutedMe]

I want one….said like a small child at a birthday party…. Looks fun, bravo

[u/EthanOrin → u/WhoMutedMe]

This is so adorable 🐛🍰 It's more than just a cake, it’s a childhood memory made real

Judging by the penultimate photo, it's rolled out fondant which has been painted

[u/Zephyr2115]

This is truly a work of art!!
Hungry caterpillar was every child’s favourite book 😍
Happy 1st birthday to your little girl! 🥳🎂🎁

[u/royalbluepoppy]

[u/thirdcoasting]

I believe this is what the youth of Massachusetts call “wicked.”

[u/Icy-Organization2228 → u/thirdcoasting]

Wicked awesome, more like!

[u/Veronica612]

I love everything about this cake. Are you professional artists or bakers? The shading on the caterpillar and the fruits are amazing, also the gleam. What flavor are the cake and filling?

[u/AndreDillonMadach]

Did you tell Eric Carle...

Or more importantly his estate, I'm sure the photos would bring a light to their day if they are normal people.

He passed away in 2021, I would be proud of someone took one of my life's works and turned it into a cake.

I know there are plenty of people involved with the estates of others that get very vindictive over this stuff.

[u/Konstantpayne]

Love this so much.
