Caterpillar-shaped birthday cakes are a staple for many kids' parties and now there's a vegan-friendly version for kids of all dietary needs to enjoy. Lazy Day's new Vegan Caterpillar Cakes consist of moist chocolate sponge cake encased in chocolate frosting, covered in rich Belgian dark chocolate, and topped with multi-colored sugar decorations. To finish the whole thing off, each cake boasts a milk-free white chocolate caterpillar-shaped face. The end result is a delicious and adorable treat that's also gluten-free, [milk-free, egg-free](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-sugar-spice-cupcake), and suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. Lastly, the product is also produced in a nut-free facility so those with allergies can rest easy.
