My sister’s birthday is coming in June. I’ve decided to knit a yarn cake to celebrate. With her favorite chocolate favor and a big strewberry for topping.

Candle and Cake is a fun knitting project. The shape can be switched between a candle and a chocolate cake, as the following photos.

This is a really fast knitting project. I do love to see your lovely cake!

Hope you enjoy it and Happy Knitting!
