Ooof, that’s a hard question. Thankfully unlike our health, we don’t have to choose here. Check here if you want to draw a slice of cake, then head back here if you want to draw a bright pink cartoon cupcake with a cherry on top. Cupcakes are pretty easy to draw which is great for young kids to practice. There’s a logical structure to them and a lot of them have a strong, simple base shape which makes them a great starter subject for kids to draw. The icing and flavors allow kids to be creative so after a few practice rounds, challenge your kids to put on different toppings, different icings, and flavors!

🖍️ Tools For Success
- Paper (Our Free How To Draw Template PDF)
- 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.
Step-by-Step Guide: Draw a Cartoon Cupcake
- Cupcakes can have any topping shape, some are round or pointed. The icing and cherry on top of it here add a different shape. So let’s start with a small cherry, then on its lower left connect an oval-like shape that ends on its opposite side. It looks like a ring, but it is actually icing with a cherry on top.
- Pink icing cannot stand without the cupcake itself. Repeat the step you have done in the icing but this time, do it in the lower-left of the icing to form a bigger one. Now, you have the top of the hot pink cake.
- For your cupcakes to form, you need baker liners. Beneath the cake, draw two vertical lines on opposite sides parallel to each other. Then, connect them by drawing a horizontal line on both ends.
- Add more vertical lines in the baker liner, with minimal spaces in between.
- To finally complete the details, add a slanted stem line on the cherry’s top.
- Now, we have a delicious cupcake with a cherry on top! Coloring it pink will make you a strawberry-flavored cupcake, with a red cherry on top and a brown baker liner. You can color it differently depending on your favorite flavor!
(Note: I went top-down but some people draw cupcakes from the bottom-up and then finally decide on what kind of icing and topping they want. It’s totally up to you!)
