Birthday Cupcake with a Lit Candle on a Plate
Coloring guide
A big smiley face cupcake sits on a plain plate, all set for a birthday party. One striped candle with a flickering flame rises from a tall swirl of frosting, and the frosting is dotted with round sprinkles in a few sizes. The wrapper underneath has a scalloped top edge and thin vertical pleats. The little face has shiny oval eyes, rosy circle cheeks and a sweet curved smile. Outlines are bold and the shapes are open, so small hands can stay inside the lines without much trouble. Pink or sky blue frosting looks good with yellow and orange for the flame, and each sprinkle can get a different color. This free printable is handy for birthday parties, classroom celebrations or a calm afternoon at the table. Add this to your Cupcake coloring page collection, alongside For Girls and For Kids.
