# Hungry Caterpillar Cupcakes Canadian Baker Creates Custom Dessert Delights By Katie Cordrey | Published 2009-04-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hungry-caterpillar-cupcakes-canadian-culinary-artist-creates-custom-dessert References: [trendhunter](http://www.trendhunter.com/clips/hungry-caterpilla-cupcakes) & [cococakecupcakes.blogspot](http://cococakecupcakes.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html) After a little detective work, I learned that these caterpillar cupcakes are the work of Vancouver, BC-based Lyndsay Sung of [Coco Cake Cupcakes](http://www.cococake.com/). Cowbag, aka Cakehead Loves Evil, spotted the great caterpillar cupcakes shown in the lead photo. She posted it on her [blog](http://cakeheadlovesevil.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/hungry-caterpilla-cupcakes/) and shared it as a [Quickie](http://www.trendhunter.com/clips/hungry-caterpilla-cupcakes) here. I agree with her assessment that the details make these cupcakes really cool. They are an assemblage of little works of art. Vancouver locals can order directly from Lyndsay. The rest of us must be content longing for these artful delights.
