Who says you can’t have your cake and stitch it, too? Duffy the Naked Cake is the ultimate celebration of the idea that it’s what’s on the inside that counts! This intermediate pattern embraces the “un-iced” trend to let those vibrant, rainbow layers really shine, without ever having to preheat the oven. Feeling a different flavor profile?

This pattern also includes bonus instructions to customize your bake! Swap your palette for rich browns to create a decadent Chocolate Layer Cake, or add some colorful “sprinkle” stitches for a festive Funfetti look. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or just a Tuesday, Duffy is ready to be the centerpiece of your celebration. Grab your hook and let’s get baking!
