Amigurumi Cake Pattern

Hi anyone that is seeing this post!! So... I made this cake because it was my friend's birthday and I counldn't do anything for her because she's in another country, so I made this cake and took photos to at least let her see that I made something for her :P I decided to share this pattern just to fill my blog... Hehehe.....
This time my instructions will be not as clear as the one that I did before just because I'm lazy :P
