Once in a while I come across an amazing item that often ends up being "not for sale" or just prohibitively expensive. Not one to be deterred, I do my best to find a way to recreate ("hack") the coveted object in question. And that, my friends, is a High-Design Hack. 
My current design obsession is Maison Moschino, a hotel in in Milan that features some very inventive rooms. Such as: The Sweet Room, which is filled with decorations that resemble baked goods and candy. Yep, it makes you hungry just to look at it. What caught my eye was the cupcake pillow on the bed. Before we go into how to make a pillow like this, let's take a closer look...
Cute. I think the best approach to making a pillow like this is by carving the bottom part out of upholstery foam, then covering with felt in a solid "cake" color (like chocolate). For the liner, wrap the sides of the covered "cake" with a neutral felt. To create the icing, create a round pillow using white fabric and Poly-Fil, then stitch to the cake. A small red pillow makes the cherry. For a less abstract method to make a pillow that looks like a cupcake, check out this free pattern at SewDaily.
