Cute Muffin Crochet!

I really do like muffin, especially those freshly baked. Well, i am not talented at all in making real edible muffin. So i just compensated that by crocheting those that look alike but not for consumption. My friend always say that its better to make those that can be eaten, compare to those only for viewing! ;)


I did some research before i started designing the muffin, only to realise that there millions of delicious looking muffins out there! There are some nicely decorated and using most unique ingredients in making it. How i wish i could taste all the muffins!


So i have decided to make 4 different tasty muffins, which is Banana Muffin, Apple Muffin, Fruity Muffin and Oreo Muffin. All looks good enough to be eaten!


Each muffin is unique in terms of the patter
n of the muffin itself, not including the toppings. For Banana Muffin, there are slices of round and long cut banana as the toppings. While for fruity muffin, i have specially chosen a half strawberry, a cherry and slices of mango and peach as the toppings. Not forgetting some hazelnuts as decorations. For Apple Muffin, three slices of cut red apples is just perfect for the cute muffin. Lastly is my favorite muffin of all, the Oreo Chocolate Muffin. The toppings off course including quarter slices of Oreo biscuits and sided with some slices of chocolates. Great combination for a muffin!


So the tips of the day:

When designing an item, the exact size must be determined in relation to other items. The size of the item must match the ratio of other items. For example: the size for the muffin must be set before making the toppings as it cannot be bigger than the muffin. Everything must be in the right ratio. Surely you would not like it if the toppings are bigger than your muffin!


The keyword to designing is to EXPERIMENT! Always let your imagination run wild and always have the courage to try!

Hope that you will like my cute muffin!
