How to Doodle a Birthday Cake

Step 1

To doodle a birthday cake, begin by drawing a rectangle in the middle of your page. Notice how the bottom section of our rectangle is slightly curved. This will become the base of your birthday cake.

Step 2

To draw the candles on our birthday cake, use straight lines. Doodle three pillars on top of the birthday cake. These will become the pillars of our three candles.

Step 3

Doodling the flames on our three candles can be a little tricky. Notice in the example the curvature and angles of the lines. Also, don’t forget to doodle some lines for the frosting on top of the cake. Use v-shaped lines for this purpose.

Step 4

To doodle the plate that our cake is resting on, use an oval shape. Notice how part of the oval shape is hidden behind the cake. Notice also the spacing between the oval shape and the base of the cake.

Step 5

Add the finishing touches to your cake doodle by giving it some needed color. Cakes, of course, come in many different colors. So feel free to use your imagination. Notice also the “s” shapes on top of the candles. This is a quick and easy way to show smoke. In other words, it shows that the candles are burning.
