Ten Fun Designs and Recipes for Caterpillar Shaped Foods

Caterpillars are one of those insects that always get good press. They are drawn as cute and lovable in books and films and never as the highly venomous, masters of disguise that they can be.  But with the bad points of caterpillars put aside, we end up with an insect that people tend to make out of all sorts of foods because they are often the perfect shape for kids parties and snack food. And every now and again something extra special is made in the shape of everyone’s favourite bugs…

Little snack-sized pizzas like these are perfect for a rather amusing caterpillar shaped munch. While there is a making guide in the link I think it is all down to artistic interpretation as to what sorts you use. But this one looks good enough for me to eat.

For a great looking finger snack food idea why not do an edible caterpillar made out of little pancakes! Not only would the kids love it, but I wouldn’t pass it up either! There is no making guide in the link, but then again if you need one, you also need glasses.
