How to Draw a Birthday Cake

Even those who don’t like birthdays love birthday cakes. This is always a very tasty and sweet thing that is served at the end of the holiday.

We really love sweets and that’s why we created this guide on how to draw a birthday cake.

 

Step 1

First, draw a horizontally elongated oval. Place this shape in the center of the piece of paper, or elsewhere if you are planning a complex composition.

Step 2

Add two vertical lines that connect to the lateral parts of the oval from the previous step. It will be great if you can draw this step without any side effects.

Step 3

In this step, we will draw the bottom of our cake. If you want to draw any dishes or a nice stand, you should draw the outlines of this right now.

Step 4

If you want to show your pastry imagination, you can do it right now. We decided to make a super simple lesson so we just outlined the contours of the liquid cream that spread along the walls of our cake. You can paint different flowers, waffle buildings, pretty sprinkles, or something like that.

Step 5

The steps for this step depend on how old your birthday boy is. Our version has one candle. You can draw as many candles as you like. Each candle looks like a small rectangle with fire outlines on top.

Step 6

You can see this step in both really complex tutorials and very simple ones. This is the step in which we check the actions of all the previous steps. If you see any mistakes, correct them in this step, because after that we will be working with colors. It is rather difficult to correct inaccuracies from the previous steps in a color drawing.

Step 7

And this is another moment in which you can show your creativity. Choose the most suitable colors for your cake. In our version, these are light pink colors. Don’t forget that blue is the most unappetizing color.

So this was a guide on how to draw a birthday cake. We hope this was a simple and helpful tutorial for you. Do not forget to write to us about the problems you encountered while working on this lesson.
