This platter was to go with the Caterpillar one to have instead of cake. Not shown are little cups of cool whip for people to dip the fruit into and then into a colorful sugar mix. That was awesomely delicious. My nori decorations were...interesting...lol. All of the foreign treats were a big hit with my family who are notorious for not trying anything new. However, my aunt did keep referring to them as UFOs. A-chan ate about 6 or 7 of them all by herself and just as many strawberries. The best thing about having these instead of cake is that there were none left over! I bought according to the number of guests and they all got eaten. We weren't forced (haha) to eat leftover cake for several days.

Birthday Caterpillars
Instead of a cake we had orange, melon & strawberry daifuku (I have no idea what the plural is for daifuku...). Strawberry mochi are my daughter's absolute favorite sweet (which inspired her blog www.strawberrymochichan.blogspot.com)
They rest upon a bed of dried coconut shreds, have nori faces, green bean legs and green bean antennae. Inside the Totoro bento box is blueberries with sugar & colored sugar crystals to dip them into after they've been dipped in cool whip, yum!!
