Decorate the caterpillar with assorted candies to create eyes, spots, and other fun details. Use licorice whips or gumdrops as antennae. (Decoration time: 20-30 minutes)
For a richer flavor, consider using a cream cheese frosting.
To make the green coconut, place the coconut in a zip-top bag with a few drops of green food coloring. Seal the bag and shake well until the coconut is evenly colored.
Get creative with the decorations! Use chocolate chips, sprinkles, or even small edible flowers to make your caterpillar unique.
If you don't have licorice whips, pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate can also make great antennae.
For easy cleanup, apply a thin coat of cooking spray on the Bundt pan.
