Making Up:
Sew row ends together and turn right side out.
Use a few wool ends to fill the cherry, gather around the base of it and then run a stitch from top to bottom of the cherry to pull it into a rounder shape to finish off your cupcake hat.  Why not try different coloured cakes or even different toppings - little coloured stitches for sprinkles, or beads for 100's and 1000's?
