Introduction

In this tutorial, we will be creating an adorable crochet cupcake using a random yarn color generator. By letting the generator choose the yarn colors, we can create unique and surprising combinations for our cupcake. We will be using pom pom yarn from Premier Yarns, which features beautiful colorful speckles that are perfect for creating the icing on the cupcake. If you're new to crochet amigurumi, don't worry! I have a full online course available that will teach you everything you need to know, and the link can be found in the description. So let's get started and make a cute and colorful cupcake!

Choosing Yarn Colors

To add an element of excitement and unpredictability to our cupcake, we will be using a random yarn color generator to choose our colors. The options for the cupcake base include blue, yellow, purple, green, pink, and orange. We will spin the wheel and let the generator decide which color we will use. For the cake part, we have selected a range of random colors including yellow, blue, pink, green, tan, black, and orange. Lastly, we will spin the wheel again to determine the color of the icing. All the yarn options will be linked in the description if you would like to try them out for yourself.

Creating the Cupcake Base

We will begin by using the color chosen for the base part of the cupcake. In this case, the generator selected a lovely lilac purple yarn. Using a 5mm crochet hook, we will crochet the bottom section of the cupcake. To keep the cupcake flat, a small piece of cardboard can be inserted at the bottom before closing it up. However, if you plan on washing the cupcake, it is best to skip this step. Once the bottom is complete, we will move on to the next step.

Adding the Cake Part

Next, we will crochet the cake part of the cupcake using the yarn color chosen by the generator. In this case, the spinner landed on a yellow speckled yarn, which gives the cupcake a delightful yellow cake appearance. As we work on the cake, we can see how the speckles of color create a sprinkled effect, adding a touch of whimsy to our cupcake. The process of crocheting the cake will be shown in a sped-up fashion to save time, but the video will be included for reference.

Attaching the Cake to the Base

Now that both the cupcake base and cake are complete, we can attach the cake to the bottom section. As we sew the pieces together, we can stuff the cupcake to give it a three-dimensional shape. It is worth noting that the polyfill used for stuffing may shed more when using larger packages, such as a 20-pound box. If you have experience with different sizes of polyfill and shedding, feel free to share your insights.

Making the Icing

To create the icing on the cupcake, we will be using white pom pom yarn. The fluffy texture of the yarn gives the icing a fun and textured appearance, resembling real-life frosting. After crocheting the icing, we will add little drips to make it look more realistic. Once the icing is complete, we can sew it on top of the cupcake to finish off the cute design.

Adding a Face to the Cupcake

While the cupcake looks adorable without a face, we can add a touch of personality by attaching a felt face. If you're interested, felt face packs will be available for purchase in my shop. Adding a face can give the cupcake additional charm and make it even more appealing as a crochet amigurumi project. However, the decision to add a face is entirely up to you and your personal preference.

Finished Cupcake

With the face added, our cupcake is now complete. The combination of colors chosen by the random yarn color generator has resulted in a gorgeous and eye-catching cupcake. The process of creating this crocheted cupcake has been both enjoyable and rewarding.
