How to Make Coconut Caterpillar Cakes

Mix cornstarch, flour, sugar (to taste), and coconut powder together. Then, to enhance the flavor of the cake dough, add coconut powder to the mixture and mix again. Once the dough is evenly mixed, add condensed milk, coconut milk, and softened butter (at room temperature), then knead by hand until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky.

Step 3: Shaping the Cakes
Before shaping the cakes, prepare wax paper to place them on. Then, take small portions of the dough and roll them into long pieces, leaving one end small and shaping the rest like a tail. Use a toothpick to press into the body to give it the appearance of a coconut caterpillar. Finally, press black sesame seeds into the head of the coconut caterpillar to make eyes. Repeat this process for the remaining dough portions.
