I love these…could you do an elf cupcake too?
Amazing work, is really stunning, I will love to learn and I hope to do that
Thanks for these cute projects!
What’s the body pattern for the mint green? I can’t tell if you continued making the next few rows after row 6 green or made an arc.
Hi I’m new to making amrigurmi crochet and I’m trying this pattern as one of my first since they are cute and look easy to make, but I do have a question what is the “basement”? If that’s the middle part there is no pattern for that just the cake and lid sections. If you could help me that’d be great. Thank you!
It means the cup of the cake 🙂
I like the cross shape stitch, how do you make that?
Hi Ingrid 🙂 You can see the video tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iaqhpBayDA

I made one of these for my grandmother for Christmas. It’s so cute! Your patterns are wonderful.
Thanks, Jen! Merry Christmas!
Do you join at the end of each round or no?
No )
I was looking for something small to crocher and these are look perfect. Going to give them a try today
love this pattern. mine turned out well. use crayon or blush for cheeks.
I love your patterns. They make perfect gifts for children as well as adults. These Cupcakes are Adorable
Thank you! ^-^
do you have any other animal designs as well?
If you mean cupcakes.. just this…
Muchas gracias por compartir el patrón, eztan lindisimos, ya los hago para decorar mi arbolito. Besos desde Perú. :-*
These would make adorable gifts! Thanks for the pattern! Love how you used “unnatural” colors for one of them. It will be fun trying to mix and match different colors.
I have been making amigurumi for years but have never used dry pastel paints for cheeks, or any other details for that matter. It looks great! How exactly do they work? Will they rub off in any way? Are they different from chalk pastels?
Thanks again for the pattern!
Hi Alexandra, these are soft pastels (look like chalks) that don’t contain oil. They’re fixed perfectly but can be smudged if you rub them hardly. Apply them just a little bit and smudge slightly to fix on yarn.
These are simply adorable, will be making several as little ornaments for my family and daycare babies! Thank you so much for the darling free pattern.
