Step by Step Valentine’s Day Cake Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Cake Stand
Begin with a wide oval for the cake plate. Add a small vertical stem and a trapezoid base to complete the stand.
Step 2 – Draw the First Cake Layer
On top of the stand, draw a large rounded rectangle. Add a scalloped line across it with tiny heart decorations to make it festive.
Step 3 – Add the Second Cake Layer
Above the first tier, draw a smaller rounded rectangle for the second layer. Add another scalloped line to show icing detail.
Step 4 – Refine the Shape
Make the layers look smooth and stacked neatly on the stand. Keep the edges slightly rounded for a soft, fluffy cake look.
Step 5 – Add the Topper
On top of the cake, draw a big heart shape as the topper. This adds a lovely Valentine’s Day touch!
Step 6 – Draw a Cute Face
Finish by drawing two small dot eyes and a smiling mouth on the bottom tier. Now your Valentine’s Day cake has a happy personality!
