I can never resist a little birthday cake like this one, with its pink tier, its cream tier, and three candles ready to be blown out! Reading the pattern is easy: each square is one bead, and the color key tells you exactly which shade goes where. I’d suggest starting at the bottom with the plate and the pink tier, then working your way up to the candles — it’s easier to keep the tiers nicely aligned that way. Once ironed, this sweet little cake makes a lovely 3D birthday card topper, a festive place card, or simply a cute keepsake to give the birthday child.
