Cup For The Cake

Make a magic loop using the BROWN yarn.
For the bottom of the cup you’ll work in spirals without joining the rounds.

1. [sc] 6x in the yarn loop and tighten the loop (6)
2. [inc] 6x (12)
3. [sc, inc] 6x (18)
4. sc, inc, [sc2, inc] 5x, sc (24)
5. [sc 3, inc] 6x (30)
   From now on you won’t work in spirals anymore, but in closed rounds. The 2 chain stiches the next rounds start with always count as 1 hdc, slip stitches are not included in the total number of stitches which you can find written in round brackets.
6. slst, ch 2, hdc 2, hdc-inc, [hdc 4, hdc-inc] 5x, hdc, close the round with a slst into the 2nd ch at the beginning of the round (36)
   For the 7th round you insert the hook into the LOOP BEHIND THE BACK LOOP (= back bar or bump of the stitch) of the stitches of the previous round:
7. ch 2, hdc 35, close rnd with a slst into the top of the first hdc (36)
8. ch 2, FPhdc around the post of the first hdc, sk 1, hdc into next stitch, [FPhdc around the next post, sk 1, hdc into the next st] 16x, FPhdc, slst into the top of the first hdc (36)
9. repeat rnd 08 (36)
10. repeat rnd 08 (36)
11. ch 2, FPhdc around the post of the first hdc, sk 1, °hdc 2° into next stitch, [FPhdc around the next post, sk 1, °hdc 2° into the next st] 16x, FPhdc, slst into the top of the first hdc (53)
12. ch 2, FPhdc around the post of the first hdc, sk 1, hdc 2, [FPhdc around the next post, sk 1, hdc 2] 16x, FPhdc (53)

BREAK THE YARN AND THAT INTO THE TOP OF THE FIRST HDC

The Cake

For the following rounds all stitches will be worked ONLY TROUGH THE BACK LOOPS (tbl) of the last rounds stitches!

14. [sctbl] across (52)
15. repeat rnd. 14 (52)
16. [dec, sctbl 11] 4x (48)
17. [sctbl] across (48)
18. sctbl 3, dec, [sctbl 6, dec] 5x, sctbl 3 (42)
19. [dec, sctbl 5] 6x (36)
20. sctbl 2, dec, [sctbl 4, dec] 5x, sctbl 2 (30)
21. [dec, sctbl 3] 6x (24)
    FILL IN THE SOFT STUFFING befor you continue crocheting the decrease rounds!
22. sctbl, dec, [sctbl 2, dec] 5x, sctbl (18)
23. [dec, sctbl] 6x (12)
24. [dec] 6x (6)
25. dec to end
    Break the yarn and weave in the ends.

The Cream

Start a magic loop using the CREME-COLORED yarn.

2. ch 2 (counts as 1st hdc), [hdc-inc] 9x, slst into the top of the 1st hdc to close rnd (18)
3. ch 2, [hdc-inc, hdc] 9x (27)
   Do NOT join the round with a slst this time – instead go ahead in spirals:
4. hdc into the top of the first hdc, dc-inc, hdc, sc 2, hdc, dc 2, hdc, sc, slst, sc, hdc 2, dc-inc, dc, hdc 2, sc, hdc, dc-inc, dc, hdc, slst, hdc, dc, hdc (30)
5. slst 2, hdc-inc, sc, slst 2, sc, hdc, hdc-inc, slst 3, hdc 2, dc-inc 2, hdc, slst 2, sc 2, hdc-inc 2, slst 3, hdc, dc-inc, hdc, slst (37)
6. slst, sc, hdc, hdc-inc, slst 3, sc 2, hdc, hdc-inc, hdc, sc, slst 3, sc, hdc, dc-inc 2, hdc, sc, slst 2, sc 2, hdc-inc, hdc, sc, slst 3, hdc, hdc-inc, hdc, sc, slst (43)

Rosette

Take your GREEN yarn now and start a magic loop.
[ch 2, sc in the 2nd chain from hook, slst into the loop] 5x
Now you have to tighten the yarn loop and slst into the very first st of the circle.
Break the yarn and pull the yarn tails through the center of the rosette. Twist both threads together to form a little stem. Fix the twisted yarn with a knot.
Fix the ROSETTE with some little sewing stitches (use green sewing thread) onto the top of the strawberry.
Take some white sewing thread and STITCH LITTLE SEEDS onto the strawberry.

Assamble:Place the cream onto the top of the cake and sew it in place.
