Freckled Girl Peeking Out of Cupcake Frosting

A big cupcake sits in a ribbed paper liner with a thick swirl of frosting piled on top in two rounded layers. Peeking out of the top swirl is the face of a smiling young girl with large round eyes, a few freckles across her nose, and a small flower on her headband. Two little braided pigtails curl out on either side of her head and rest on the frosting. The lines are bold and clean, so the big open spaces are easy for small hands to fill in. Try coloring the frosting a bright pink or lavender, then use different shades for the skin, hair, and the tiny flower. The liner has lots of narrow stripes, which makes it a nice spot to practice alternating two colors. This free printable works well for a birthday party table or a quiet afternoon at home.
