How to Draw a Pavlova
Draw a pavlova 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: stand top.
Step 1: Stand top
A little below the middle, draw a wide flat oval. Draw a second oval just inside it.
Step 2: Stem and foot
Start at the left end. Draw a bowed edge to the right end. Add a stem and a flat foot.
Step 3: Meringue
Start on the stand at the left. Draw a big soft drum with a wavy top, ending where you began.
Tip A pavlova is a crisp meringue piled with cream and fruit.
Step 4: Whipped cream
On top of the meringue, draw a big puffy pile of cream with a bumpy top.
Step 5: Kiwi slices
Draw 3 round kiwi slices on the cream, each with a ring of tiny seed dots near the middle.
Step 6: Strawberries
Draw 2 heart-shaped strawberries with leafy caps: a big one in the middle and a small one at the left.
Step 7: Cracks
Draw 3 short curved lines on the meringue for cracks.
Step 8: Table line
Draw a long line under the foot, just touching its bottom.
Step 9: Cream meringue
Go over your lines. Colour the meringue cream and the whipped cream white.
Step 10: Sky blue stand
Colour the whole cake stand sky blue: the plate, the stem and the foot.
Step 11: Green kiwi, red berries
Colour the kiwi slices and strawberry caps green, leaving the kiwi middles white. Colour the berries red around the caps.
