Do you know what a cupcake is? A cupcake is a small cake designed to serve one person, which may be baked in a small thin paper or aluminum cup. As with larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations such as fruit and candy may be applied. Many people enjoy making and eating cupcakes along with other miniaturized foods, and most bakeries offer a line of these cakes in addition to their other desserts.

Depict the crumbs. Outline the many dots at the top of the cupcake you have drawn.
Check if it is done correctly. Now make sure you have drawn everything right and you don’t need to erase any details.

Ready to snack and draw? Let’s watch the one-minute video below for a sweet, sweet art treat!
Steps:
- Prepare your materials. Start drawing the outline of your cupcake with a pencil (if you prefer), or directly with a black marker (don’t forget to give it a good shake before using it).
- Start with the cherry on top (literally!), and then work your way into drawing the rest of the layers.
- Add ridges to the ‘cup’ and details on the cherry before you move on to coloring.
- Think of your favorite cupcake flavor, pick out its colors, and start filling in your cupcake outline. If you want a colorific cupcake, add pops of neons (the brighter the icing, the better for snacking–don’t you think?)
- You can have fun with the color sections of your cupcake–color diagonally, per layer, or any way you please.
- If you’ve colored outside the lines, it’s not a problem. You can always retrace your outline with black marker.
- And on to the last and most fun part–sprinkles and toppings! Once you’re done coloring everything, including the cherry, you can add sprinkles and toppings in different colors (and flavors!)
This is a fun and easy art activity that you can do with little ones, while enjoying sweet and satisfying cupcakes as you draw!
