Step by Step Valentine’s Day Cupcake Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw a Heart Topper
At the very top, draw a heart shape. This is the sweet decoration for your cupcake.
Step 2 – Add the First Layer of Frosting
Below the heart, sketch a soft oval with little curves on the sides to make the frosting look fluffy.
Step 3 – Add Another Frosting Layer
Draw another oval layer below the first, slightly wider. This makes the frosting look tall and delicious.
Step 4 – Complete the Frosting Stack
Add one more wide oval layer at the bottom to complete the frosting stack. Now your cupcake looks extra yummy!
Step 5 – Draw the Cupcake Wrapper
Under the frosting, draw a trapezoid (wider at the top, narrower at the bottom). Add vertical lines for the folds in the wrapper.
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face
Finally, give your cupcake personality by drawing two eyes and a smiling mouth on the wrapper. Now it’s a cheerful Valentine’s Day treat!
