This cupcake hat is one of the most ridiculous designs I have ever made--and I have loved every minute of it!!! Haha!. :) Designed to grace the head of an extra lucky birthday dog, this hat features a life-size knitted cupcake on top! The ultimate attention grabbing birthday hat, this accessory will clarify for all exactly who is most important on the big day! LOL!

Here is a YouTube video on how to sew on the frosting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpDWuRFWhXY
