My first attempt came out a lot bigger looking on the base, I think my first problem is a thicker ply yarn on the bottom then the top but also I was wondering if when you sewed the base to the frosting if the base was up a bit into the frosting (not like sewing edge to edge.). Can you give me some pointers for making it a cuter sew and not monster muffin? Thanks!

nevermind, just found the tutorial. It is a combination of different yarn and not sewing back far enough.

I’m going to start with these patterns: a moogle and a cupcake. [...]
