Heres the chocolate spread on toast and ya might wanna eat the screen. Thick golden slice sitting on a round plate. Top has been slathered in swirled hazelnut spread with that glossy ribbon effect, dark cocoa swirls layered on warm caramel pulls. The wheat-cream crust runs around the bread edge. A silver butter knife rests across the top right with a lil smear of chocolate still on the blade. Honestly its the kinda toast that ruins ya breakfast plans.
The plate underneath is off-white with a soft sage rim, just enough colour contrast to make the toast pop. I went heavy on the directional stitching for this one. The bread crumb gets a cross-hatched fill that mimics actual toast texture. The chocolate uses long flowing satin ribbons running in spiral motion so it reads like spread, doesnt look like a flat brown puddle. Total fourteen colours which is a bunch but every shade earns its place.
I built this design for a customer whos got a small breakfast cafe in toronto. The brief was something realistic enough to recognise without being a literal photograph, logo style for staff aprons and merch totes. Last christmas she ordered three sizes for the launch run. Few weeks after world chocolate day a bakery in seattle ordered the toast for staff coffee cup sleeves and orders kept coming for tea towels and chair-back runs.
Best results show on cream linen, oatmeal cotton, butter yellow canvas. Im keeping it simple here. Stitch the bigger 7.5 inch on a kitchen tea towel front. Pair a smaller 3.5 inch on chefs aprons across the chest panel. Run the medium on a denim apron pocket. This reads best on lighter cottons aswell, the cream plate edge will get lost on busy ground.
Densest sections sit in the chocolate swirl fill and the toast crumb. Hoop with medium cutaway stretched tight, knock the rpm down on the swirl rows because the tallest size lands around 58k stitches and the machine needs space to breathe. The digitising came out tight on those ribbon swirls so the colour changes flow without jumping. Drop into chat with the file name and ill diagnose the stitch path.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
