Crochet Birthday Cake

Today is my birthday! I can’t believe it but I am celebrating the last year of my 30’s. I’m 39 years old today! My 30’s have been amazing and I still have lots more in store for the next 365 days! I’ve been back on my Weight Watchers diet for the past two months so I am trying my best not to indulge in too many desserts. Fortunately this Crochet Birthday Cake is calorie-free and will last forever!

I purchased these styrofoam cake rounds from Amazon. They come in a set of 4 measuring 3, 4, 5, and 6 inches in diameter. The crochet pattern is specifically made to fit these specific rounds. I didn’t use the smallest (3 inch diameter) round but you could easily include it if you wanted to.

Rose:
With yellow yarn:
Chain 15, 5 DC in 3 rd chain from hook then chain 2 and slip stitch into the same stitch, SC in next, repeat making 7 petals. Fasten off and curl into a spiral so the petals take the shape of a rose. Stitch together so it doesn’t come undone. Stitch onto top of cake.

Leaves (make 2): You can find my leaf pattern HERE.

I used toothpicks poked through the styrofoam to stack the 3 layers! You could hot glue them or you could carefully stitch the bottom edge of one crochet cake layer to the top of the next. But that might be tedious. The toothpicks worked great and they are removable in case you ever want to make this cake again in different colors!

Thank you so much to all of you for the well wishes and continued support! This crochet blog has been a huge blessing and I wouldn’t be where I am at without all of you! I appreciate it so much and love celebrating with all of you virtually! xoxo

  2. Happy Birthday! I can’t wait to find time to make the birthday cake. For years I made birthday cakes and wedding cakes but I can no longer make real cakes due to numerous allergies and Fibromyalgia. I have to make my own allergy free cake when we have a family celebration. It will be so neat to be able to pull out a decorated “Fake Cake” for my pleasure. Thanks for sharing your amazing talents.

  12. Happy birthday! This is a very significant figure in life. By the way in the 17th-century birthday cakes were made more elaborate with details like icing, layers, and decorations, like flowers. However, these kinds of cakes were only affordable by the wealthy, upper class due to the high-priced ingredients. I ordered a dissertation on this topic on the site https//uk.edubirdie.com/buy-dissertations because I did not have time to write it by myself. This topic is very interesting.

  20. Happy birthday! Not quite on time but still… It’s a good reason for a nice joke for you from jokesfan.com. Here it is:

    Patient: Doctor, I get a strong stinging feeling in my eyes every time I eat a birthday cake.
    Doctor: Next time, blow out the candles.

    Take care and stay happy!

  27. I just finished making this beautiful Birthday Cake! I made it for my Great Grandaughter Kavaya who will be 4 years old on August 11th. She will be so happy to get it cause when she saw it on my email, she said “Grammy, you have to make ME that cake”, (she doesn’t know I made it), so it will be a surprise for her.
    I was just wondering if you by any chance can give me instructions on how to crochet the Number 4 so I can put it on top of the cake (maybe in the middle of the rose?). Thank You for a great pattern and am looking for lots more to crochet!
