Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Tiny Details First - Use very fine-tipped pencils or gel pens for the intricate icing patterns and the delicate veins on the sugar flowers.
2. 2🖍️ Layered Colors for Depth - Build up the colors on the cake tiers and flowers with multiple light layers to create realistic shading and dimension.
3. 3✨ Ladybug's Luster - Give the ladybug a shiny, realistic look by using bright reds and a touch of black for its spots, perhaps leaving a tiny highlight uncolored.
4. 4🌈 Doily Delicacy - For the antique lace doily, consider using subtle off-white, cream, or very pale grey tones to emphasize its texture without making it too dark.
