Description Following on from my plushie Weighted Companion Cube deviation, is a plushie cake based on the one in Portal - a black forest gateaux to be exact!

I used snuggly wool for the frosting, and DK for the cake, cherry and icing. Sadly, making this made me really badly crave cake...at least its sugar and fat free though!

Pattern is based from the Knitter bible knitted homestyle, with a surprising number of little tweaks to make it look just right.

I feel like I want to bite it!
Lovely work with the use of different yarn to recreate the filling of the cake and the icing!

Thanks for the comment! I'm happy with how the different yarns turned out, as my main complaint with a lot of knitted cakes is that they look...well...very, very knitted...
