1
Draw an ellipse (a flat circle). Leave space above and below your ellipse, since this will serve as the top of your cake and you don't want to run out of room for the strawberries or the bottom layers.
-
2
Add a line under each side of the ellipse. Connect the two lines with a curved line; this is the basic shape of the cake.
- It can be tall or short as you want or even shaped differently than seen here, but remember to keep all your details in proportion.

3
Draw a curved line about a third of the distance between the first curved line and the ellipse. This comprises the difference between the base and the filling of the cake.
-
4
Sketch a dripping syrup shape and a misshapen bunch for the strawberries. There are no specific guidelines for drawing this part, just look at the accompanying image and try to get it as close as possible.
-
5
Outline everything with a neater line. Make more definite shapes for the strawberries, including both whole and half fruits. Again, look at the image to help you out.
- If you want to add frosting decorations or anything else to your cake, this is the point at which to do so.
-
6
Add details for texture. Draw "seeds" on the strawberries, small holes in the filling (for a custard-like texture), and small dots on the base (for a crumbly texture).
-
7
Line the drawing with black ink. Try to make a modular line (which passes alternately from thick to thin). This will make your drawing look better and more professional.
-
8
Erase the pencil from your drawing and color. Use bright colors, as shown. You're done!

Start with a very wide base, then draw more layers, each layer getting smaller and smaller as you go up, until you reach the top.

Question
How would I make the cake design look realistic?
Look up pictures of real cakes and save a few to reference. You can either base your design off one specific cake or use different elements from different pictures. Making realistic drawings is way easier with reference pictures (it's not "cheating").

Cakes are possibly the most well-known dessert of all time, used for everything from birthdays to weddings, so do your drawing justice. Make it look as three-dimensional as possible using shadows and highlighting, and color it richly so it seems as though you could eat it--try Mr. Sketch Scented Markers for an extra vivid boost. (If you've gotten hungry just thinking about cake, look up cake recipes articles.
