Cupcake Coloring Pages That'll Make You Wish It Was Time For Dessert
When people ask us what our favorite kind of cake is — which has actually happened maybe twice ever, but has still happened — we usually say cupcake or ice cream cake. Clearly, that’s not the answer they’re expecting. But for us, size and type are very important. All cakes are amazing, but there’s something particularly joyous about cupcakes! Some of us even opt for cupcakes instead of real cake for our weddings (#truestory and no regrets). Aside from eating cupcakes, though, we’ve found it’s also fun to color in cupcakes. And, that’s because you can really let your mind go wild. Lucky for you, we whipped up a bunch of amazing cupcake coloring pages to help ease any boredom that you or any member of your family may have.
Cupcake coloring pages are a great way to indulge your sweet tooth… without having to worry about getting a stern talking-to from your dentist! Just remember when your children color these in that there’s no wrong way to approach them. If they envision a purple cupcake with green frosting, celebrate the fact that they’re using their imagination. You can even run with the color theme and teach them about Mardi Gras.
Or you can try and make your cupcake coloring pages as realistic as possible. Have you ever tried shading in a cupcake before? It’s thrilling. Whatever “flavor” you crave, here are 10 great downloadable and printable cupcake coloring pages you’re going to love.

You can taste this cupcake even without the colors! A strawberry cupcake drawing would look sweet with pink and red swirls. If you happen to have crayons or colored pencils with a bit of a sparkle in them, this may be their calling. Fun fact: Cupcakes weren’t always called cupcakes. They used to be called number cakes. And did you know Georgetown Cupcake was the first cupcakery to open in Washington, D.C?
2. Short Cupcake
This cupcake may also classify as a muffin. But, muffins are also good, since they’re often known as a type of cupcake that nobody would give you side-eye over if you eat it for breakfast. This one is also begging for some great colors to distinguish it for a little bit. Fun fact: There are cupcake ATMs that holds about 350 cupcakes at once. What a delicious idea!
3. Lemon Cupcake
When you think of lemon cupcakes, you think of fancy spring and summer events. As far as cupcake coloring pages go, this one is incredibly versatile.

You can also stand by the yellow coloration and have fun making the wrapper truly unique.
4. Heart Cupcake
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, this heart cupcake looks too sweet to eat. If you’re a little tired of red and pink, why not give the frosting on this cupcake a rainbow effect? When you love someone and want to gift them baked goods, it’s always good to be colorful.
5. Another Heart Cupcake (Because Why Not?)
Since you can never have too many heart cupcakes, here’s another cute design. This drawing almost looks like a cupcake built for two.

Fun fact: In Australia, cupcakes are called patty cakes.
