How To Draw A Birthday Cake Tower (Folding Surprise)

How to Draw a Fun Birthday Cake

Welcome to a fun drawing lesson where you can create your very own birthday cake! This activity is perfect for anyone who loves to draw. Let’s get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, gather these materials:

• A marker
• A sheet of paper
• Something to color with (crayons, markers, or colored pencils)

Step 1: Folding the Paper

Let’s start by folding our paper:

1. Take the top edge of your paper and fold it down to the bottom edge, making sure the edges line up perfectly.
2. Run your finger down the middle to create a crease.
3. Next, fold the top flap of the paper up to the middle crease. Ensure it’s straight and crisp.

This folding technique is similar to our previous ice cream drawing lesson.

Step 2: Protecting Your Workspace

To keep your table clean, place an extra sheet of scratch paper underneath your drawing paper.

Step 3: Drawing the Cake

Drawing the Frosting

1. Begin by drawing a bumpy line on the top half of the folded paper to represent the frosting. Make some bumps bigger and some smaller for a fun effect.
2. Draw another bumpy line going the opposite direction to connect the left and right sides.

Adding More Frosting

1. For the bottom part of the cake, repeat the same bumpy line technique.
2. Connect the top and bottom frosting layers with lines on both sides.

Drawing the Plate

1. Draw an oval shape at the bottom of the cake to represent the plate.

Adding Candles

1. Draw three candles on top of the cake by sketching two vertical lines for each candle and connecting them at the top.
2. Add a small line for the wick and a flame shape (like a leaf or raindrop) on top of each candle.

Step 4: Expanding the Cake

Now, let’s open up the folded paper to reveal more space for our cake:

1. Extend the lines at the top and bottom of the cake to make it taller.
2. Draw more bumpy lines to connect these extended lines, creating additional frosting layers.

Creating a Fun Design

1. For the next layer, draw it slightly off-center to give the cake a whimsical look.
2. Connect the layers with diagonal lines to enhance the fun design.

Step 5: Adding Funny Faces

To make our cake even more entertaining, let’s add funny faces:

1. Draw two circles for eyes on one layer and color them in.
2. Create a happy mouth or a singing face to celebrate the occasion.
3. Feel free to add eyelashes or other fun details to personalize your cake.

Step 6: Coloring Your Cake

Once you’re satisfied with your drawing, it’s time to add color! Use your creativity to color your cake in any way you like—there are no rules!

Step 7: Show Off Your Creation

After coloring, reveal your masterpiece! Open up the cake to show the funny faces inside. This drawing can even double as a birthday card, where you can write a secret message for a friend.
