Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
Watch this part of the tutorial to see how we weave in the ends seamlessly.

Connecting the two appliques

Before sewing the pieces together, cut a paper cardboard as the same size as the heart and put it into the base of the 2nd applique so that the cake turns out nice and sturdy.
Use stitch markers to position the two pieces in the right places and sew the first piece into BLO of the 2nd applique.
When you are almost finished with sewing, start stuffing the cake.
Watch this part of the tutorial for a more detailed explanation.

Cake’s Cream

Use a deeper shade of pink yarn.
Insert the hook into any FLO at the back of the1st piece that we left while sewing the hearts together.

(3ch, 4dc Bob stitch, skip 2 stitches, 1slst into the 3^rd stitch)* repeat till the end of the round.

You can watch how to crochet “Bob stitch” in this part.
Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
With the same process, make another cream puff into the FLO of the 2nd piece’s R3.

Mini Heart

Use a baby pink yarn or any color you prefer and start with a magic ring.

R1 6sc in mr [6]

R2 (1sc, 1inc)*3 [9]

Cut the yarn and make another piece the same way but after the 2nd piece, DO NOT cut the yarn.
We’ll connect the two pieces in R3.

R3 Insert your hook into the 3rd stitch of the first piece and make 1sc into that stitch. Continue crocheting 1sc into each stitch of the 1^st piece. There will be a total of 9sc on the 1st piece. Then, make 1sc in each stitch of the 2^nd piece. [18]

Small Cream (to decorate around the mini heart)

Use a deeper shade of pink yarn or the color you used for the cake’s creams.
Start with a slip knot.

(3ch, 4dc Bob stitch into the 1^st ch)*6

After getting 6 Bob st in total, insert your hook into the very 1^st chain of the first Bob st and make 1 slst to make a ring.
Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
Glue this circle of cream on the top surface of the cake.
Sew or glue the heart in the middle of this cream.
