This Felt Birthday Cake craft welcomes crafters of all skill levels. For example, the stitching is very straightforward, without any complicated construction to slow you down. However, we recommend using a thin piece of cardboard to firm up your interfacing for best results. Also, our handy tutorial walks you through assembling the cake along with perfectly portioned slices that you can remove and serve, just like the real thing!
When finished, this project is perfect for imaginative play, party décor, or a handmade gift for little cake lovers. The layers feature colorful embroidered sprinkles, piped frosting details, and even felt candles topped with tiny golden flames. Whether you're celebrating a real birthday or simply adding to your felt food collection, you’ll discover that this project is guaranteed to spark joy for both you and whoever receives it.
While we think this project looks adorable as designed, you can absolutely have fun with additional decorations and creative embellishments. For instance, feel free to change up the colors, add some sparkle with jewels, or embroider the sweet birthday boy or girl’s name on the side.
All in all, this Felt Birthday Cake celebrates the love and joy we share with the people who sweeten our lives. And on that note, don't forget to raise a slice or two with us! When complete, upload your pics to our crafters’ community or tag them with #MadeWithLia on Instagram — we can't wait to celebrate your creativity!
