Birthday Candle Cupcake with Sprinkles and a Big Grin
Coloring guide
This little cupcake has a big open smile, round shiny eyes and tiny curved eyebrows, and it takes up the center of the page. A single striped candle with a pointed flame rises from a swirly mound of frosting, with round dot sprinkles scattered all over it. The wrapper has simple vertical pleats, which leave wide, easy spaces for small hands. There's no background at all, so the page stays clean for younger kids or anyone who likes adding their own details. Pink or lavender frosting works nicely with a yellow and orange flame, and bright rainbow colors suit the sprinkles. It's a free printable for a quick coloring break any time.
