To make the top layer

1. Using a 15.5cm (6in) tea plate as a template cut out two circles from fabric 1 and two from the wadding (batting). Cut a 6.5cm x 48.5cm (21⁄2in x 19in) strip from the wadding (batting) to match the fabric 3 strip. Spray glue, or tack (baste) if you prefer, the fabric pieces to the wadding (batting) pieces.

2. Cut the hook-and-loop fastener into eight 5mm (3⁄16in) squares, and separate the hooks from the loops. Working on the right side of one of the fabric circles, arrange the hook squares in a circle, with one in the middle, and sew in place. Set aside the loop squares to attach to the bottom of the fabric ‘candles’ later.

3. Make the top layer of the cake in exactly the same way as the bottom layer, except this time sew the ric-rac in the top seam only and cut the turning/stuffing slit on the base of the cake, that is the side that does not have the hook-and-loop fastener tape attached.

4. Place the top layer of cake on top of the bottom layer so that it is centred to cover the ladder stitch seams. Join the two cake layers together with ladder stitch (see Techniques: Utility stitches) using a strong, doubled thread. You may need to sew round the cake twice.
