Calling all who have a Sweet Tooth! I’m excited to introduce my interactive crocheted Mix n’ Match Cupcakes.

I designed these with my daughter in mind and thought of how fun it would be to have play food that you can manipulate with interchangeable parts. The different cupcake flavors can be mixed and matched with different frostings, making a fun handmade gift for little ones (or for yourself!).

My Mix n’ Match Cupcakes come in the classic flavors - chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry but of course, the options are limitless. They work up quickly and use a bit of magic - err… I mean, magnets! Here’s what you’ll need for this project:

Darning Needle Set (Bent Tip) – Art. No 3121
