What size do these print at?

Each sketch is drawn at a clean portrait proportion, so it prints well as an A4 or A3 consultation sheet.

Can I ask for a different cake, like a two-tier version?

Yes — the direction field takes any cake shape or theme, and the same three mediums render it.

What's the difference between the three mediums?

Pencil is soft shading with light construction lines; ink is clean fine line drawing; marker adds flat coloured fills over an ink line for a design-studio look.

Are the swatch strips and annotation lines usable, or just decorative?

They're left blank by design so you or your baker can fill them in with real colour choices and measurements during a consultation.

Cake design sketch: wedding tier, kids' theme, colour swatches

Cake sketches — a three-tier wedding cake drawn front-on, sugar peonies trailing down one side, thin arrows out to the details with empty annotation rules beside them and a blank swatch box in the corner, a graphite pencil sketch, the light construction lines still visible under the finished contour and soft shading laid down one side of each form

Cake sketches are the trade document a client signs off before the cake exists: a three-tier wedding sketch with blank annotation lines, a kids' themed sketch, a single tier beside a blank colour-swatch strip. These nine render each in pencil, ink and marker. Type a halloween cake or a two-tier version and the same three mediums carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
