Pretty in Pink .... isn't she?

Hi everyone

I wanted to make a token gift for a friend at work who was celebrating her birthday!! She is very pretty, stylish and girlie, and loves animals. I couldn't decide! Then it came to me a girlie cake of course!!

The whole thing ...............







The front bit with the bow .............










The candle, with a bead or two!!!








The basic pattern was taken from Susan Penny (20 to make) 'Knitted Cakes'.
The book is excellent, very clever and is absolutely mouthwatering!!


Of course I had to tweak the pattern in my usual unique way!! Ha ha!!

• instead of making 'piped' icing I used Sirdar funky fur
• I crocheted the centre flower
• used a pipe cleaner for the candle
• I used stiffening for the edges (the kind used to stiffen peaked hats)
• .... and I did stuff it - if you'll pardon the expression!!
• ... and finished with a crocheted chain bow!!!

I didn't want to give it away, but I wanted to eat it!!! Is there something wrong with me huh!!!

Catch you soon tweakers,
love Cathy xxx
