Buggy Birthday!

JG turns 3 on Monday, but we had his buggy birthday party yesterday, on Saturday. I made a caterpillar cake that was super easy, using a bundt cake cut in half and put back together in a squiggle! And then I also baked some little bug cakelets using a pan that I got at Williams-Sonoma - ladybug, dragonfly, bumblebee, and butterfly. Both cake ideas were quite easy and turned out pretty well for the amount of effort required. I had bought some cute little tiny ladybug sugar confections that I added to the coconut grass. I also "made" some little ladybug party favors - the chocolate ladybugs were from Freshmarket.... easy, easy! (and though this has nothing to do with food or cooking, we had temporary bug tattoos and we got the party started by having everyone apply a tattoo - good times!)
