Take small piece of cardboard (any thick piece of paper will work) and cut out a circle of a size of the cake's top. Next, place this circle inside the cake - this will keep the top flat; now stuff the cake with polyester filling. When completed, F/O and weave in remaining thread.

SHAMROCK (colour bottle green)

Magic ring, 9sc into the ring. Join with sl st into the next stitch and CH 2, then 4 DC into the next stitch, then join with sl st into the next stitch. First leaf is now completed. Repeat the process 2 more times; once you have total of 3 leaves, join to the last stitch with sl st and CH 5, then cut off yarn leaving longer tail – using needle, pull this yarn tail throughout the length of the whole chain towards the centre of the shamrock and F/O. When completed, using fingers, pull the ‘corners’ of each leaf to shape them.

Using fabric glue, attach to the top of the cake (centre of the shamrock only).
