Strawberry Cake With Lit Candle
This strawberry cake with a lit candle is a joyful little celebration in thread. Soft pink swirls of cream sit along the top, finished with plump red berries, while a single flame flickers above. The warm layers beneath give the cake a rich, inviting look.
It suits anyone who loves a sweet, colourful project, from keen bakers to stitchers who enjoy a cheerful design. Framed on the wall, it brightens a kitchen or dining nook, and it makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a birthday or any occasion worth marking.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.
These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.
HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
