Cupcake Base:
Starting with the cupcake color yarn, create a magic circle.

- Round 2: 2 sc in each st around. (12 sts)
- Round 3: 1 sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st repeat around. (18 sts)
- Rounds 4-6: sc in each st around. (18 sts)
- Switch to icing color yarn.
- Rounds 7-9: Continue sc in each st around. (18 sts)

- Round 10: 1 sc, then decrease over the next 2 sts repeat around. (12 sts)
- Round 11: Decrease around. (6 sts)
- Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Use the yarn needle to close the opening, weaving the tail through the front loops of the 6 remaining stitches. Pull tight to close. Secure and weave in the end.
Cherry (Optional):
With red yarn, create a magic circle.
- Round 1: 6 sc into the magic circle. (6 sts)

Assembly:

Notes:
When working with amigurumi, make sure to keep your stitches tight to prevent the stuffing from showing through.
- You can add faces or decorations to your cupcake with felt or embroidery for an extra cute touch!
- Adjust the size by using a different yarn weight and hook, remembering that the final size might vary.
