Not at all stupid, I've just made a cupcake stand from old plates, but not allowed to eat cakes for medical reasons. Now I can knit cakes and look at them instead! Brilliant, thank you.
Can't wait to start these!!
This is awesome! I am setting up a bakery in my preschool classroom and these will be perfect. I've been looking for a reason to get back into knitting lately and this is it! Can't wait to see how they come out.
