DIY: crochet red velvet cake

-
Did you know that when you add buttermilk or vinegar
to chocolate it will turn red? I didn't know either.
 But thanks to this chemical reaction the
red velvet cake was born! I have never eaten one before but
I'd love to dig my spoon into this creamy, fluffy, chocolaty-looking
cake! But right now I have to deal the one that I have now: a crochet
cake with stuffed cotton inside! And its a fluffy one c:

I've adapted this pattern from 'Onesheepishgirl' and her 'rainbow cake'.
So I suggest you should visit and learn the pattern from
her page, because she is seriously one of my favorite DIY blogger
particularly her knitting and crochet skills! Her pictures alone are
also mayor inspiring!

For this cake I've used  red and beige acrylic wool  with the following
two hooks: 3.00  +  1.25. I've only used the 1.25 hook for the attachment.
Scroll down to check the process in stepwise, stop-motion video of
the cake! It will only take you 19 sec!

Perhaps a giftidea for your cake-loving friend: a cake! But this one wont mold away and it will stay forever!

    Wait whaaat - all the recipes I've used for red velvet cake uses red food coloring! But they sure are tasty either way. You should totally try one (or bake some - I know you want to!), it's so good!

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post. You know to keep our mind working! And this time I take you guys through another fruity crochet tutorial where this time it’s all about the bananas!
