  4. I'm Kisentia from the above post. Still haven't finished it since I had many other projects to do and the intended recipient is no longer a friend. But eventually I will have myself a plush cuppy-cake to cuddle with. I am changing a few things as I go. Thanks again for the pattern!

  7. Hi I made this but I have sewn it together two time and took it apart both times I can't figure out where to sew it onto the cake should I sew it to the top or middle when I sew it to the top the frosting ends up being too big and doesn't fit when I tried the middle it ended up uneven and the cake didn't show a whole lot idk what I'm doing wrong
