Cupcake bead pattern

A Blush frosted cupcake with a Red cherry and a striped Bubblegum and Light Pink wrapper, in 85 beads.

A pink frosted cupcake with a red cherry on top and a striped pink wrapper as a fuse-bead pattern on a pegboard grid.

The frosting is a wide Blush dome topped by a three-bead Red cherry, and the wrapper alternates Bubblegum and Light Pink columns while it narrows toward the base. Place the cherry and the widest frosting row first, because they fix the centre, then work down the wrapper one column pair at a time. The design is mirror-symmetric. For a keychain, thread the ring through the middle cherry bead.
