With the bugle beads, sew all over the top of the crochet cake. Make sure to leave about 2 rows of the cake bare as this will be covered by the bobble icing later.
Bobble Icing – Make 2
(Use a Size G/4.0mm crochet hook!)
Note- For this entire row, go through both loops, leaving the back “bump.”
Using Ivory yarn,
Ch 18. *Yarn over and insert hook into the 2nd chain from the hook. Yarn over and pull through chain. Yarn over again and pull through 2 loops. 2 loops will remain on your hook. Repeat until you have 5 loops on your hook. Yarn over for a final time and pull through all 5 loops. This will create the first bobble. Then sc in the next 2 chain spaces, making sure to go through both loops, leaving the back bump.* Repeat from * to * until you have 2 chain spaces left. In one chain space, make one more bobble. Sc in the last stitch. (6 total bobbles) Fasten off and leave a tail for securing to cake.
Assembly
To make the cake slice more structured, I added a cardboard triangle wedge to the inside. Grab a thin cardboard box (think cereal or cracker boxes!) and trace each crocheted cake piece. Cut out, making sure the cardboard piece is slightly smaller than the crocheted piece.

For the crochet cake piece with the safety eyes, you’ll need to poke holes in the cardboard that line up with where the safety eyes are. I use a hole punch first and then use scissors if needed.
With tape, connect all the pieces. First take the side pieces and tape in the center and then tape the top and bottom pieces to it.
For the back panel, tape to the top piece of cardboard, add fiberfill and then tape to the bottom piece of cardboard.
Sewing the pieces together
Start with the bottom and side crochet pieces. Line up the edge and using the long tail left over from the bottom piece, whip stitch to sew them together. Then line up the next side and sew together.
Next, line up the top crochet piece to the side piece and using the extra long tail left over from the top piece, whip stitch to sew them together. You’ll start in the bottom right corner.
Go along the edge until you reach the top, then sew the top and side crochet piece together.
Once you get to the very center tip of the cake, insert the cardboard box. Make sure to get the holes to line up with the safety eyes.

Continue to sew the pieces together until you reach the end. Secure the tail with a knot and hide inside the cake.
Finally, with a hot glue gun and the bobble icing pieces, attach one piece to the top of the amigurumi cake, where those two rows have no beads.
Then attach the other piece to the bottom of the cake. Secure the left over tails inside the cake.
