How to Draw a Heart Cake
Draw a heart cake in 11 easy steps, about 8 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: the heart top.
Step 1: The heart top
A little above the middle draw a wide flat heart, much wider than tall, for the top of the cake.
Tip Squash the heart flat, like looking down at it.
Step 2: The wall
Start at the left point. Go down a thumb, copy the heart's bottom edge, then up to the right point.
Tip The wall is the front of the cake, just lower.
Step 3: Icing drips
Start at the left point. Draw fat U drips along the edge, round the bottom, up to the right point.
Step 4: A cherry
Draw a round cherry on top of the cake, just below the dip.
Step 5: Stem and leaf
From the top of the cherry draw a short stem curving up to a little leaf with a middle line.
Step 6: Confetti
On the wall of the cake draw 4 little round sprinkles below the drips, all at different heights.
Step 7: A plate
Draw a wide flat oval plate behind and under the cake, skipping the part hidden behind it.
Step 8: Pink top and drips
Go over your lines, then colour the cake top and the drips pink, going around the cherry and leaf.
Step 9: Tan cake
Colour the wall of the cake tan under the drips, going around the confetti.
Step 10: Sky plate, yellow confetti
Colour the plate sky blue around the cake, and the confetti yellow.
Step 11: Red cherry, green leaf
Colour the cherry red, leaving a white shine, and the stem and leaf green. Your heart cake is ready!
