Birthday Cake with a Star Coloring Page

About this page

A round, single-layer cake sits on a wide plate and carries a big five-pointed star in the center of its top. Around the star, a few round decorations sit on the cake's upper surface, with two larger balls near the star's base and smaller dots scattered around the edge. A wavy line of icing drips from the top onto the cake's side, and below it a row of round circles of different sizes decorates the lower half. The plate is drawn as a flat oval with a raised rim. There is no table or background, and no candles, so the star is the focus. The star and the circles are broad, clear shapes that are easy to fill, making this an easy page for young children who like cakes and celebration themes.
