Pencil
Polymer Eraser
Outline Markers
Coloring Tools (I recommend Crayola’s 140 Piece Coloring Case)

🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.

Draw a Cake for Beginners

Cakes come in a lot of shapes and slices. There are square cakes, rectangle cakes, round cakes, even inside-out cakes. I chose to draw my favorite cake flavor: a vanilla cherry cake with a chocolate filling topped with vanilla buttercream icing. You can decide whichever flavor you want when you’re ready to color. Do have some cake handy ready after, because you just might crave a cake after you’re done like I am right now.

Learn How to Draw a Slice of Cake

Cake slices are usually triangular with different toppings. We’re putting cherry as our toppings today. You can skip this until later or change the topping but for me, I started drawing a small circle first so I can mark where the rest of my cake slice will be. There’s a how to draw cherries tutorial too after this one.
Then put it on top of a big, long triangle with a slightly curved line on its shortest side.
A slice of cake is not just a simple triangle. In fact, it is a triangular prism. So, at the two corners of the triangle, draw two vertical lines parallel to the other.
Then, connect them with a slightly-slanted line parallel to the longer side of the triangle.
Cakes look more delicious with fillings inside. The thicker the cake, the more numerous the layer should be to break up the cake. And that’s what we’re doing! Inside the cake’s slice, draw two horizontal curve lines closely parallel to each other to serve as the filling.
Do you have more than 1 layer of cake? Do you want multiple smaller layers? Feel free to repeat step 5 again if you want a triple-layer cake.
Now that your cake is almost made and ready for serving, we need a circular plate. Beneath the cake, draw a circular plate that just perfectly fits the size of your cake.
If you like cherry and vanilla-flavored cake like me, you can color it bright pink for a pop of color. I hope you have a real cake ready because we are now done! The flavor and the icing will depend on you. Have you decided what kind of cake you want now?
