Use #F08080 for a classic strawberry cake base! Did You Know? Cake making dates back to ancient times.

✨ Pro Coloring Tips
- Employ shading techniques to add dimension and make the cake look more realistic. Focus on areas where light and shadow would naturally fall, such as under the frosting swirls and along the curves of the cake layers. Use darker shades of your chosen colors to create depth.
- Experiment with different textures for the frosting and cake. For a smooth buttercream frosting, use gentle, even strokes with your coloring tool. For a more textured effect, like whipped cream, use short, light strokes or stippling.
- Consider using watercolor pencils or markers to blend colors seamlessly, particularly for the frosting drips and candle. Activate watercolor pencils with a damp brush to create soft gradients. For markers, use blending techniques or alcohol markers for smoother transitions.
- Don't forget the background! While the cake is the focus, adding a simple colored background or even some party confetti can enhance the overall image and tell a story. Choose pastel shades for a softer look or brighter colors for a more festive feel. Consider crayons, colored pencils, or gel pens for details.
