Cake Drawing

If you’d like for your students to learn how to draw a cake, then why not go over the top, while you are at it? There’s no sugar high happening here.

This simple cake shape starts as a cylinder, but then gets a cut out to show what is layered inside. A few simple “slice” lines will let students peek inside their cake. This not only adds dimension, but offers all kinds of filling options too. Rainbow colored? Filling patterns? Favorite fillings? I’ll bet your students can come up with a few other ideas too. All kinds of sweet options.
