Pattern description
A rich chocolate layer cake crowned with billowing vanilla-cream frosting and ruby-red cherry garnish creates a timeless dessert scene in this 110×110 counted cross-stitch pattern.

At intermediate skill level, the pattern balances straightforward stitching areas with detail work, making it an engaging project for needleworkers ready to move beyond beginner designs.
