Pattern:
Cake Slice (make 9 slices – 4 in beige/cheese, 5 in pink or brown):
R1: 8 sc [8]
R2: (3 sc in one st, sc) x4 [12]
R3: sc, (3 sc in one st), (sc 3, 3 sc in one st) x3, sc 2 [16]
R4: sc 2, (3 sc in one st), (sc 5, 3 sc in one st) x3, sc 3 [20]
R5: sc 3, (3 hdc in one st), (sc 7, 3 hdc in one st) x3, sc 4 [24]
R6: sc 4, (3 hdc in one st), (sc 9, 3 hdc in one st) x3, sc 5 [28]
Fasten off. Make two of each color and join each pair (same color) with slip stitch around. One slice stays single (middle).
Cream Layer (make 4 in white):
R1: 8 dc in mr [8] (work as a flat circle)
Fasten off, no stuffing needed.
These cream rounds will be layered between cake slices to add volume and a whipped filling appearance. Keep the tension even so they stack neatly.
Cherries (make 5 in red):
R1: 6 sc in mr [6]
R2: (inc, sc 2) x2 [8]
R3: 8 sc [8]
R4: dec 4 [4]
Flatten slightly. Do not stuff.
Weave yarn tail through the last round, pull to close and secure. Shape each cherry with your fingers for a plump, rounded finish.
Cherry Stems (make 5 in green):
Cut a short piece of green yarn. Thread through top of each cherry. Use glue if desired to stiffen. Allow to dry completely, then adjust shape.
For a more playful look, curl the stems gently or leave some longer than others to mimic natural cherries.
Assembly:
Stack the cake slices: alternate color slices with white cream layers in between.
Use the unused single slice as the top of the cake.
Sew or glue cherries on top, spacing evenly.
Attach stems and add extra detail if desired.
Lightly stuff each cake layer before joining if you want a puffier cake. Use stitch markers to align edges before sewing for a clean finish.
Add your personal touch: consider embellishing the cake top with a crocheted drizzle line or seed beads as 'sprinkles' for extra charm!
