Now don't these look good enough to eat? I thought that this was so cute, and then decided to make some for my granddaughters to sell for a soccer fundraiser. These are pincushions, and the design is from Zippy DesignZ. These are easy to do, but it takes me longer to stuff them than to stitch them out. They are stitched on felt, and I have a couple different way to decorate them right now. These are just stitched using the sparkle felt. Some of the others will have seed beads stitched to them to look like sprinkles.

They look so real, what a great job you did in making them.

Absolutely adorable! Look good enough to eat?
You bet. Great job. Will have to try my luck with this project.

these are just gorgeous! well done *

These are just to beautiful, they are so real, like everyone else, I also thought they where real and would have loved to eat them, I love cupcakes!!!

Very Creative! They look wonderful!

they look good enough to eat

Yes just purchased this one, I love them

I had to read that twice to realize they were not real! They truly look good enough to eat... Fantastic job!

what a sweet surprise very nice work there.

Ypur pincushion cupcakes are adorable. We rescued a puppy this year and named her Cupcake. My daughter and I have been searching for a cupcake ornament for our Christmas tree, All of our pets for the last 36 years are represented on our tree. From goldfish won at the church carnival to all the cats and dogs, birds and squarrels named Rooroo. I might have to make one of these...:-)****4U

That is very special - my daughter also has a rescue dog she got this year.

yummy...and no calories-LOL...love the idea, so cool and so pretty and useful on top of it all!! wish you and the girls lots of luck for the fundraiser...*4u

I started to comment on these the other day and DH came in, spotted them and said: "Why can't you make cakes like that? You haven't baked anything for ages!"
Well, i cracked up, but I couldn't say too much because, when i spotted them, i too thought they were real. ROFLMBO!!! SURE FOOLED ME!!!
These are just awesome and something I would truly love to make for grand daughter's play parties.
Mind you, I've never even heard of sparkle felt, so I guess I will need to do some researching first.
Fantastic job! hugs n roses, M

meganne, sparklet felt is at Joanne Fabrics if you have one of those near you.

OK - I had to laugh at this one. I had a friend come in and saw them and told me she was hungry. What a surprise when she picked one up. But she is a character, and i had to expect something like that from her.

They are so great

I just bought these, can't wait to make some. They are just so cute.

That's so cute ! Lots of work, I'm sure !

No, not really - stitches out really quickly. It just takes longer to put the filling into them. This was a fun project, and hope I do not get burned out before I get them all done.

Very cute, neat idea for birthday gifts for my sewing buddies...

So very cute!

Very nice. But now I want a cupcake... :)

And I'm with you there. I don't eat cake often, but sure would love to have something fluffy and fattening right now!

These are sooooo cute! I am partial to cupcakes....I made 150 of real ones for my twin sons' graduation party! Nice job!

Beth, these surely with be a success at your fund raiser. Great job!

very nice! I saw the patterns for these and wondered if they would be a quick stitch or not! They look real enough to eat with my coffee!! A+ and of course, a flower, too!

they look like they are real just to bite in them,verry beautifull work

Absolutely adorable!!! These are the things that I like to make with my machine. Love it, Thanks for the idea.

These are real nice. Presented the way you did they'll be sold in no time.

Wow, they look so real. fantastic idea!!!

What a lot of fun these are and look so realistic - a shame to stick pins in them!

Great job, D'lonna! Cant even imagine how did this...excellent presentation!

Cute.....

The little cupcake liner is from the Wilton silicon baking shells. It has 1/2 of a Styrofoam ball, and then the two design halves stuffed and glued. The cherry on top is actually from a Christmas stick that I cut apart.
