The cupcake is a favourite image for many - young, young at heart, foodies and sweet-tooths generally. Just like the consuming of them, stitching them is yummy fun too. The cutting and stitching of the blocks is so very easy. Cupcakez can then be decorated to your sweet-hearts delight. I have simply stitched on buttons and rickrack but a look at any of the cupcake cookbooks around and you will be inspired to out-ice me. I have designed the blocks in three sizes; 4”, 6” and 8”....... .... 4” coasters anyone?
