How to Draw a Cream Horn
Draw a cream horn in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: a plate.
Step 1: A plate
A little below the middle of your paper draw a big flat oval plate, wider than your hand.
Step 2: The horn
Draw a fat cone lying on the plate, point on the left. Make 5 soft bumps along each edge.
Tip Each bump is a little bigger than the one before.
Step 3: Spiral bands
Draw 4 curved lines across the horn. Start each at a dip on top, stop at the dip below.
Step 4: The cream
Start at the top of the wide end. Draw 6 fluffy bumps round to the bottom of the end.
Tip A big round puff, a little wider than the horn.
Step 5: The swirl
Inside the puff, start near its middle. Curl round once and a half, stopping before the edge.
Step 6: A strawberry
On the plate, right of the cream, draw a small strawberry: round on top, a soft point below.
Step 7: Leafy top
Across the top of the strawberry draw a little leafy cap with 3 points hanging down.
Step 8: Seeds
On the strawberry, under the leaves, draw 3 tiny dashes for seeds, zigzag down.
Step 9: The table
Draw a line under the plate from far left to far right, just touching its bottom.
Step 10: Sky plate
Go over your lines. Colour the plate sky blue around the horn, its puffy filling and the strawberry.
Step 11: Tan pastry
Colour the horn tan, stopping at the puffy filling. Leave the filling white.
Step 12: Red strawberry, green leaves
Colour the strawberry red and its leafy top green. Your cream horn is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a cream horn, drawn by you.
