My brain must be wired on sweets. Here is another one.
What could be better than a normal bundt cake? A red velvet one.
Feel free to make your cake in what ever flavor you like best.
What you need:
Worsted weight acrylic yarn
in cake color
Size F (3.75 mm) hook
Polyester fiber fill
3D fabric in glaze color
Yarn needle
3D fabric in glaze color
Yarn needle
Clip to keep place
Scissors
A scrap piece of paper
A scrap piece of paper
Cake:
Work in continuous rounds
Be sure "right" side of work in facing inwards in the tube.
Finishing touches:
Cut a long piece of yarn. Tie a knot at one end and thread needle onto the other. On the bottom of the cake secure the end of the yarn, I did several stitches to make sure it was firm. Run yarn to top of cake and thread down through the hole in the middle, pull tight. Repeat so you have two threads pulling a curve down into your cake.
Repeat till you have all the indentations you want on your cake.
Place your cake on a scrap piece of paper before you "glaze" it. This way if it drips it won't mess up a plate or table. Using the 3D fabric paint glaze your cake. I did a very easy drizzle but you could do any style glaze.
