How to use this worksheet
- Study the model cake before drawing: how much narrower the top tier is than the bottom one, where the icing waves hang and where the candle stands.
- Your child draws seven to ten cakes per row alone, each in four steps: lower tier, upper tier, icing waves, candle with flame; the candle should stand in the middle of the top tier every time.
What this worksheet teaches
Copying cakes without dashes asks your child to plan the stroke order, judge the two tier widths by eye and check the icing and flame against the model.
Play idea
Plan a birthday week: your child labels each row with a day and draws a different fruit on every cake in that row.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How can my child check a freehand cake?
Compare it with the model: is the top tier narrower than the bottom, are the icing waves the same height, and does the flame sit on top of the candle?
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8 — copying a two-tier cake with icing and a flame from one model, six rows long, shows whether straight corners, waves and a small drop shape are all under control.
How long does this worksheet take?
Around 20 minutes, as each cake has four parts; if the icing turns into scribbles by the fourth row, stop and finish the last rows another day.
