The great thing about learning how to draw a birthday cake, is that children can decide all the details about how they want it to look. This tutorial will help them get started with three stacked tube shapes, which is a good lesson in drawing forms, by the way, and they can finish with their own frosting and decorations. It could be a great beginning of a homemade birthday card … or poster for that matter. Birthdays are a time to think big!
