  1. hi my name is Sophia i’m 10 years old,I started to crochet 2 years ago I have a question, how big is the lemon cake? are they all the same size?

    1. Hi Sophia! I think it’s great you know how to crochet at 10 years old. You must be a very smart young lady 🙂 The lemon cake is about 3″ wide by 3″ tall. The cakes all come out the same size! Let me know if you have any questions 🙂

      1. thanks!

  2. hello! I’m struggling to know how to change the color from cream to the main color and it would be great if you explained more how to!

    1. Hi there Nithya! When working the icing we will have to change color with the last icing stitch. Usually when we change color we work the very last stitch, but yarn over with the new color when completiting the very last stitch. So this is what we will be doing for the last icing stitch!

      Make the 6 double crochets needed for the last stitch. You will have 6 loops on your hook since we haven’t completed the icing stitch yet. Now, yarn over with the main color. Pull through all 6 loops on your hook with the main color yarn. Now you have just completed a color change!

      I hope that was able to help 🙂 Please let me know if I can help explain anything further!

  3. I’m making the lemon cake for my daughter Le friends birthday and it’s so great except I didn’t understand the written instructions for icing and had to look up a YouTube tutorial which makes them different but still good. Thanks!

  4. I finished 🥳🥳🥳

    1. Wow you did a fantastic job, Lana! I know your daughter’s friend will be so happy to get that gift from you 🙂 Handmade gifts are so much more personal and you can really feel the love when you get a gift like that! I think even with using a different technique for the icing, it came out looking awesome! You made such a cute cake and thank you for sharing a picture 🥰 Your dog is adorable too, I looooove dogs so much. He/she looks like spoiled pup with that adorable sweater!

  5. I made the birthday cake to celebrate each of my kitties’ birthdays. Thank you for the pattern

    1. Oh my gosh, both of your cats are so cute! 😍 I love both of them, I wish it was possible to pet them through the internet lol! They’re seriously soooo cute. I love their green eyes! I think it’s so fun that you made them their very own cake for their birthday, what lucky kitties! How old are they turning?

  9. This was great fun thank you!!

  10. Q: What yarn did you use for the top of the birthday cake one that makes it look like sprinkles? I Love It!

  11. For the icing is it just a partial pobble stitch?

  12. I really loved this pattern it’s begginer friendly and the finale cake its so cuteee

  13. Hi I was wondering if I’d be allowed to sell the finished product with credit to you?

  14. After I make the first top icing. Then change colors where do i start when using the main colors white?

  15. My cream puff didn’t turn out great but the rest went fine I think!

  16. What size hook did you use?
    I used F and my cake is 4-5 inches across.
    I was hoping for something a bit smaller.
    Also, do you sl st at the end of each round and then chain 1 before starting the next round in the same stitch?
    I’m using old glory (red, white and blue variegated yarn) for the icing. Happy Birthday, USA.

  17. I adjusted the pattern a little but he still turned out great.
