Trendy Fondant Cake

LW2466

Designed by Nancy Anderson

Cake measures 21” tall x 16” diameter.

RED HEART® “Super Saver®”: 2 skeins each 316 Soft

White A and 774 Light Raspberry C; 1 skein each 319

Cherry Red B, 376 Burgundy D, 624 Tea Leaf E.

Crochet Hooks: 5mm [US H-8], 3.75mm [US F-5].

Yarn needle, 3 bags polyester filler, stitch marker, red felt,

cardboard.

Optional: velcro® hook and loop fastener, 8”, 12”, and 16”

diameter round cardboard cake boards, quilt batting and

water soluble pen.

GAUGE: 20 sts = 4”; 20 rounds = 4” in sc with larger hook.

CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size hook to obtain the gauge.

NOTES

(1) Cake consists of 3 layers that are worked separately in

continuous rounds. Layers are then sewn together or they

can be fastened together using optional Velcro strips.

(2) Cake layers measure 8”, 12”, and 16” in diameter by 5”

tall. They are worked from the top down. The bottom piece

of each cake layer is worked separately and sewn on in

order to provide adequate opening for inserting cardboard

forms and stuffing.

(3) Fondant stripes in bottom layer are worked by carrying

the non-working yarn along the back of the piece and

working stitch around the non-working yarn as rounds are worked.

(4) For smooth, cake-like appearance firm stuffing is

required. In addition, optional cake boards or cardboard

cutouts wrapped in a layer of quilt batting can be used at

the top and bottom of each layer for additional firmness

and shape. Each layer uses 2 cutouts: one each for top

and bottom.

(5) Flowers, hearts, and diamond embellishments are

worked separately and attached by sewing to the cake,

using matching yarn or thread.

round of Bottom Piece until it is a little over half way

attached. Insert 2nd cardboard round. Begin stuffing

firmly. Continue to sew and stuff the piece, smoothing

the stuffing along the sides of the cake. Make certain the

first cardboard round and stuffing is evenly placed by rearranging

stuffing and cardboard as needed. Repeat for

other 2 layers.

layer use 3 lengths, middle use 5, and for bottom use 7 or

more Velcro lengths.
