    until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing
    thoroughly after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat to

    short lengths to form antennae and legs. Place round
    candies for eyes and mouth. If desired, round candies can
    be placed on cupcakes for a spotted caterpillar.
