Cake coloring pages might not be quite as much fun as actual cake, but they’re still great for budding young artists — and that’s because cake coloring pages can take any form. Feel like making a chocolate cake? Get out your brown colored pencils and crayons and see if you can work in patterns that may make the cake look fresh from the oven. Or maybe a bright blue cake is what you’ve envisioned. Regardless of your culinary skill level, you can make that dream a reality with a simple, free coloring page.
