You Will Need
This little plush creation is based on a New York style cheesecake toped with cherries. The project takes a little basic sewing knowledge. You'll use the whip-stitch for the entire piece. The time taken to complete will obviously vary Note: This is my first ever Tutorial so please forgive me if I over or under explain anything ^__^

You'll need the following materials:
- Felt: Beige, Brown, Light Brown, a small amount of red
(Note: if you can not find a light brown just use beige for the cake top instead)
- Embroidery Floss in Beige, Brown, and Red (You'll be using 3 strands of floss to sew unless otherwise noted)
- 5 1/4" red PomPoms (For cherries)
- An Embroidery Needle or any sharp needle with an eye big enough for floss
- Straight pins
- Small scissors
- Fabric glue (you may use hot glue if you prefer)
- Polyfill
- A Fabric marking pen (Optional but recommended)

Use 2 strands of red floss for this step
- Pin smaller piece of red on one side so it slightly overlaps the top as shown
- Whip-stitch in place- Pin larger red piece on to of cake so it slightly overlaps the piece you just stitched on
(Arrange it however you think it looks good, there is no wrong way as long as it covers the first piece's edge so the look like one big drip of cherry juice)
- Whip-stitch in place

To finish and hide your final bit of thread:
- Tie a knot at the end of your stitches
- Push your needle into the felt and then out about a 1/2 inch along the back edge as shown
- Pull the needle through and out, leaving a tail of floss
- Snip the tail and close to the felt as you can. This will give you a nice clean final stitch

Now that the main cake is done, add you topping
- Glue on the pompoms as shown:
3 on top in a triangle shape
2 on the bottom of the red drip (as though they spilled down the side of the cake leaving a trail of cherry juice)Tip: Use pins to hold the pompoms in place while the glue dries, especially the ones on the side. Remove them when the glue is dry and holds steadily in place

All done!
Your cheesecake is adorable on it's own but try this additions for even more creativity:
- Sew a small lobster clap to one of the back corners the attach to a keychain or cell strap
- Glue to a tiny hat or headress for a sweet Lolita head piece
Also try your own variations of toppings: Blueberries, Starwberries, Raspberries, Chocolate whatever you love!
