What better way to celebrate the big day than with a tiny crocheted wedding cake? These little cakes are easy and fun to make, and this free pattern has lots of photos to guide you! These would make a great gift for the bride and groom to be in your life. They would also make great wedding favors – what a fun and personalized gift for your wedding guests! The possibilities are endless!

(Pin it for later!)

The design of these cakes is based on a tiered wedding cake, and each layer is decorated with crocheted “ribbons” in a contrast color. You can even customize your cake with your choice of flowers – rose bunches or sunflowers!

I chose Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice for the majority of the yarn used throughout this pattern. It’s a great multipurpose yarn, and is a great combination of both soft and sturdy, which makes it great for stuffed food projects like this one! You can find some Vanna’s Choice in White on Amazon HERE. I’m also a huge fan of the colorway Pink, which is what I used for one of the three cakes shown here. Find some on Amazon HERE!

I love that this yarn is available in so many colors! So feel free to get creative an coordinate according to the bride and groom’s chosen colors for the wedding!

And for those of you who know anyone with a fall wedding coming up, the little sunflowers in this pattern are the perfect accent!

So are you ready to say “I do” to this delicious pattern? Then let’s go!
