Sweets for the Sweet

Here is my latest finished knitting project, a cupcake hat. I made it in one night, as it was a simple pattern which I found on the internet. The pattern was originally for ages up to 4; so I added a little width and length to fit my little sweetie.
The only tricky part was making the little "nubs" of pink frosting around the edges. The pattern was slightly vague describing these directions; but now that I have the hang of it, it's not difficult at all.
The pattern calls for size 7 knitting needles and a cast on of 80 stitches, which I changed to 90. I added 2 inches in the length of the pink "frosting" and this morning I sewed on tiny glistening beads as "sprinkles" atop the cupcake.
