Christmas Cake

Knit up this Christmas Cake topped with a display of Santa’s living room, and use some glittery yarns too for a festive sparkly touch. Each of the top decorations are stuffed toys, so you can use these to make a diorama display without the cake base, hang them on your tree, or use them to top an edible cake. My cake covers a polystyrene cake dummy so it has a smooth and flat surface to decorate. If you cannot find a cake dummy you could cut cardboard or plastic mesh pieces the same size as the cake, place these inside the walls of the cake, and stuff with filling instead. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, this cake is knitted in acrylic DK yarns. The cake cover is knit in the round using DPNs or a circular needle for Magic Loop. The decorations are worked flat on single pointed needles (not in the round). The icing and fire surround are i-cord tubes which can be worked on two DPNs or a circular needle. For confident beginners/intermediate and above.
