How to Draw an Easy Birthday Cake
Ever looked at a cake that looks like a masterpiece and wondered what magic it would take to create such a work of art? While it looks intimidating, drawing a birthday cake is actually quite simple! All you need is a few strokes of the pen (or pencil!). You can douse it with lots of frosting, colourful sprinkles, and of course, plenty of candles! And here’s how you can draw your own easy birthday cake in no time…
Step 1: The Plate
Start off with a plate, a plate that’s just the right size for you cake. This will form the base for the delicious cake, so draw a thick line that’s shaped like an oval or a rectangle. Alternatively, you can draw a circle if you want your cake to take a circular form.
Step 2: The Cake
Now that the plate is done, it’s time to move on to the cake. Layer the cake and draw a few staggered lines that get longer as you move away from the centre of the plate. This will create a 3D effect and give your cake some height and depth. And since it’s a special day, you can go ahead and sprinkle your cake with lots of colors and decorations.
Step 3: The Icing
With the cake in place, you can now create the delicious icing! Use a long line and draw it around the cake. Make sure the line isn’t too thick, as that can make your cake look a bit too heavy. You can create a swirl pattern out of the icing to make it look even more attractive!
Step 4: The Candles
This is the most fun part of the birthday cake — adding the candles! Get creative and draw out as many candles as you want on top of the cake. You can create a spiral pattern with the candles, or go for whatever pattern your heart desires. Make sure you draw in the flames too, it’s the little details that take your cake from “us” to “wow”.
Step 5: The Sprinkles
No birthday cake is complete without the sprinkles! Add some sparks of glitter and sparkles around your cake for a bit of extra magic. You can even add a few drops of rainbow dust and stars if you want to make your cake look extra special. Just make sure you keep it orderly and symmetrical, that’s key.
Step 6: The FINAL Touch
Finally, it’s time to add the final touches to your cake. You can draw a few balloons, stars, and confetti around the cake to celebrate your special day. You can also add a few stars and tinsel around the cake to make it shine even more. Now your birthday cake is complete and ready to be enjoyed!
Step 7: Coloring
Once your cake is completely sketched out, it’s time to add some colour! You can use gel or watercolour pens or markers to give your cake a vibrant look. Add bright colours to the icing and candles for a vibrant look. You can also add in some light coloured sprinkles for a bit of contrast.
Step 8: Show it Off!
Your cake is ready! You can make one for yourself, or you can use it to surprise a special someone. Feel free to make it bigger or smaller, depending on your preferences. Create your own design and show it off to the world – create one today and eat one later!
