Heres the strawberry cake slice and its a proper bakery-window piece. A neat triangular slice sits forward, two pink sponge layers sandwiched with thick ivory frosting in the middle. More cream piles on top, swirled into a soft peak. One whole strawberry sits glossy and red up there with tiny yellow seed dots. A simple cream plate edge curves underneath.
Thirteen colours layer this thing and a few details lift it above a flat illustration. The sponge layers use a short-stitch tatami in two pink shades so the cake reads textured not flat. Three cream tones plus a soft warm shadow line stack into the middle frosting band, gives it that proper whipped-volume look. The strawberry on top carries a satin shine highlight and tiny offset stitches scatter across the red as yellow seeds. Plate edge runs as a single grey shadow line, minimal on purpose so the dessert stays the hero.
I drew this for kitchen, bakery and coffee-shop gear. Last summer a customer ordered the 7-inch on a cream linen tea towel for her sister-in-laws bakery opening and emailed me snaps a week later. The whole counter display had matching towels stacked next to actual cake slices and the embroidered version honestly held up next to the real food. Properly satisfying, dont mind admitting it.
Stitch on light woven cotton, linen or twill for the cleanest read. Cream, oat, soft pink or pale sage let the ruby red strawberry pop and the frosting actually looks creamy. Stay away from black or deep navy fabric because the cream frosting sinks into dark grounds. Avoid plush or terry, the soft frosting line work vanishes into raised loops, ya wont see it.
Density runs about 68k stitches on the largest 8-inch size at 1153 stitches per square inch so its a dense piece, treat it accordingly. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser, hoop tight, slow your machine speed during the cream layers, and float a water-soluble topping if ya base is a slacker open-weave linen. Drop a screenshot if a fill reads grainy on linen.

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.
