Pattern description
This 110 x 110 stitch pattern captures a tempting round chocolate cake adorned with a thick border of pale cream frosting and jewel-toned red berries arranged in a decorative ring. The composition centers on rich chocolate-brown tones contrasted against ivory and bright crimson accents, creating a warm, inviting dessert motif that practically glows on fabric. At intermediate skill level, the piece uses 26 DMC thread colors to build depth and dimension across the layered cake design. Perfect for kitchen décor or as a gift for baking enthusiasts, this counted cross-stitch design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric as a small finished piece or larger project depending on your preferred fabric count. The combination of chocolate, cream, and berry colors offers a timeless palette that suits both contemporary and traditional home settings. Stitchers will appreciate the moderate complexity that balances rewarding detail work without overwhelming execution.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
