Birthday Cake Stacking Toys

For my 40th birthday, I wanted to create something special and unique, so I worked up this fun Birthday Cake Stacking Toy pattern that would be perfect for a 1st birthday present or photo shoot, and little ones will LOVE stacking and pretending with them over and over again!

There are a variety of different ways to put this together! You can use white, off white, or cream for the cake, and any color decorative frosting you’d like! I used Red Heart’s Aran and Retro Stripes for a fun look throughout the cake layers. I used cardboard to keep the pieces firm, in my first attempt, but also tried heavy duty plastic template from the quilting section of JoAnn’s for the second attempt. Both turned out perfectly, with just slightly different looks.
