Crochet Project Ideas using Caron Baby Cakes
You can pretty much use any existing baby project and use this yarn. I have scoured through what we have on file here. I have tutorials made for many baby projects. So I am giving suggestions on projects that will lend itself well. Use the recommended hook size on the label which is 5 mm or size H hook. You will need to figure out the yardage for quantity of balls needed. To help you, the yardage of one of these balls is 231 yards / 211 m. It's classified as (4) Medium Weight.

HI Michael:
I bought 2 skeins of Baby Cakes in eh Dreamy Daffodil colorway. When looking at the labels I realized that I'd prefer to try the "Dreamy Sky" blanket that is on the label, rather than the blanket I originally planned that called for 4 cakes. Is there any way to get more Caron Baby Cakes? Is this yarn never to return?

It's scheduled to return to stores April 2018, but I'm not sure if they will be bringing back the same colorways.

Hello, I'm in a pickle. I picked up some Caron Baby.Cakes yarn at Michaels. I'm doing a corner-to-corner baby blanket and an about 4-5 rows and then the border from being done. The Baby Cakes color I'm using is "Sunny Day". However, I've run out of yarn. Went back to Michael's and called sever stores and they are not carrying it any longer. Any suggestion of where I might find one skein? Thank you!
Martha Greenwood says
Is Michael's the only place I can get Caron Baby Cakes yarn, can I buy it directly from the company?? The reason I'm asking is that I bought some from my local Michael's, I have checked back three times and they still didn't have any in. Weren't sure when the were. Help me please..
