Cup­cake Base*
Begin by cro­chet­ing the cup­cake base. You can use a sim­ple amigu­ru­mi-style tech­nique, start­ing with a mag­ic ring and work­ing in con­tin­u­ous rounds. Increase stitch­es grad­u­al­ly to form a cup­cake shape. Choose a col­or that resem­bles the cake por­tion of a cup­cake.

Frost­ing Top*
Switch to the frost­ing col­or and cro­chet the deli­cious swirl atop your cup­cake. This is a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to exper­i­ment with dif­fer­ent stitch pat­terns, like pop­corn stitch­es or shell stitch­es, to add tex­ture. Be cre­ative with col­or choic­es to make your cup­cake unique­ly yours.
