The Very Hungry Caterpillar Baby Onesie Cookies

I’m sure there is no need to introduce – The Very Hungry Caterpillar Children’s Book. Book sold over 30 million copies worldwide and it was  translated into over 50 languages. I bet Eric Carle had no idea that in 2013 we’ll still be celebrating his illustrations, using them to create cookies…

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Baby Onesie Cookies – VIDEO TUTORIAL

• First flood the cookies, let the icing dry.
• Take the stencil and using a needle tool or a food market, transfer the caterpillar outline onto the cookie.
• Using the outline as your guide, start piping, alternating colors : dark green, light green, blue, until you are done with the body of the caterpillar.
• Then pipe the red head.
• Let the icing dry.

• At this time you can pipe the sun.
• And also add details, like eyes.
