Tips for Realistic Cake Layers
The cake slice is a triangle wedge with alternating cream and brown rows that mimic sponge and filling layers. The frosting drip along the top edge is made with uneven picot stitches that trail down the sides. A tiny red cherry or strawberry on top finishes the slice. Keep the stuffing light so the wedge keeps its crisp triangular shape.
A Slice of Sweetness
This cake slice keychain is perfect for bakers, birthday gifts and anyone with a sweet tooth. It is a lovely party favor and a charming addition to a bakery bag. Dessert amigurumi is one of the most saved crochet niches on Pinterest, and a layered cake slice is a classic of the genre.
