You Will Need (7 things)

  • Small amount of white Sugarpaste for the ends of the knitting needles
  • Candy Sticks from sweet shops
  • White Frosting
  • Food Coloring : I used yellow, green and blue to match the cases, but choose your own colours
  • At least seven Cupcakes (can be domed or flat)
  • Piping Bag s
  • Plain Piping Tube No. 3 or No. 4

Steps (6 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Mix your chosen colours into the white frosting and place each in a piping bag fitted with a plain piping tube.

  2. 2

    Pipe straight lines across each cake as shown, to look like loosely rolled balls of wool.

  3. 3

    Pipe a spiral line down one of the candy sticks and push the end of the stick into one of the cupcakes.

  4. 4

    Continue piping loops in rows along the stick to look like knitting.

  5. 5

    Push the other candy stick into the same cupcake.

  6. 6

    Dampen the top ends of the candy sticks and press a small flattened ball of sugarpaste on to each one.
