Cup cake story

After attending a children’s birthday party over the weekend, I came home with some creative ideas to crochet a few fun toys for children to play with at home and create their own make believe “birthday parties”.

Cup cakes are very popular these days, so I have created some fun colours and designs and shapes. Ice creams are also fun to crochet.

I used Lily Sugar N Cream 100% cotton yarn; this yarn is durable and easily washed, also great for these fun toys.
