Colors to Use

Pinks, blues, yellows for cake layers. Whites and tans for frostings and icings. Browns for chocolate cakes. Vibrant colors like greens, purples and oranges for decorations.

Why stick to a plain vanilla palette when you can make your sugary centerpieces shimmer with gemstone glazes or swirl in candy-coated rainbows?

How to Color a Cake

A. Illustrating Specific Elements: For sprinkles or candy decorations, use bright primary colors like red, yellow, and blue. Add white highlights for a sugary sheen.

B. Blending Techniques: On an ombre frosted cake, use a pink base color. Gradually blend in purple strokes towards the bottom for a seamless color transition.

Invite Creativity Challenge: Imaginative Cakescape

Transform a ordinary cake illustration into an extraordinary, dreamlike “cakescape” by coloring it with an unconventional color scheme, whimsical textures, and imaginative elements!

For instance, depict a cake made of rolling green hills with candy flower toppers and a gumdrop path winding through. This open-ended approach unlocks your visual inventiveness.
