About these cake coloring pages
These cake coloring pages run from a kawaii birthday cake with three candles and a strawberry layer slice for ages 3 to 5, to a cake with balloons and a grandma baking with her grandson for ages 6 to 8. Hard and expert pages feature a backyard party, a pastry chef at work, a dessert table and an ornately piped tiered cake.
Birthday cake coloring pages make easy party placemats, and the art has no printed words, so children can write the birthday child's name on the cake or below it. In class, color the baking page while talking about measuring cups and following the steps of a recipe.
Also in cute coloring pages and kawaii coloring pages.
Cake facts to share
- Cakes topped with candles were part of children's birthday celebrations in Germany by the late 1700s.
- Cake flour is finer and has less protein than all-purpose flour, which helps cakes bake up soft and tender.
- A baking tip: let a cake cool completely before frosting it, or the frosting will melt and slide off.
Color idea: Pick a two-color frosting theme, like lavender and white or mint and pink, and repeat it on every tier so the cake looks planned.
Cake coloring page questions
Which cake pages are best for a birthday party?
The kawaii birthday cake, the cake with balloons and gifts, and the backyard party all fit birthdays. Print one per guest and have kids color while the real cake is being set up, or send the pages home as a party favor.
Can I add the birthday child's name?
Yes. The pages are drawn without any words, so there is space on the cake, the plate or below the picture to write a name, an age or a message with a marker before or after coloring.
Which cake page is the hardest?
The expert tiered cake has lace piping, sugar flowers, pearls and scrollwork on every tier, so it suits teens and adults with fine-tip markers. The dessert table page is the next most detailed, with several patterned cakes on stands.
