My mom just had her birthday, and I’m trying not to eat a lot of sweets now that it’s after the holiday season. So, the next best thing — to draw the sweets! Here’s a slice of yellow cake with chocolate frosting.

I used the online color picker “Color Picker Online” to check the palette for the cake — it’s not just a straight yellow.

For the cake itself, there are multiple shades of yellow, as well as purples, oranges, and browns. For the frosting, I used multiple shades of brown and dark orange. I did the work on Canson Mi-Teintes (smooth side) in Honeysuckle.
