CSS Birthday Cake Animation

Hey everyone. Welcome to today’s tutorial. In today’s tutorial, we will learn how to create a Cake Animation. To build this animation, we need HTML and CSS.
We do not use external libraries, images or icons to create this project. In this project, we first create the cake illustration from scratch and then animate it.
If you would like to learn through more such tutorials check out this playlist here. This playlist consists of a bunch of CSS animation tutorials. Coding along these tutorials will help you improve your CSS knowledge.

Video Tutorial:

If you are interested to learn by watching a video tutorial rather than reading this blog post, you can check out this video down below. Also, subscribe to my youtube channel where I post new tutorials every alternate day. Along with tutorials, I also post new tips and tricks.

Project Folder Structure:

Before we start coding, let us take a quick look at the project folder structure. We create a project folder called – ‘Cake Animation’. Inside this folder, we have two files – index.html and style.css. The first file is our HTML document, while the second one is the stylesheet.

HTML:

We begin with the HTML code. The HTML code consists of a div with a class container that holds and centres all the other divs. Within this div, we have the cake div. And finally, the cake div consists of div with class names as – candle, top-layer,middle-layer and bottom-layer.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Cake Animation</title>
    <!-- Stylesheet -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="cake">
        <div class="candle"></div>
        <div class="top-layer"></div>
        <div class="middle-layer"></div>
        <div class="bottom-layer"></div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

CSS:

We then style these elements and add animation to them using CSS. For this copy, the code provided to you below and paste it into your stylesheet.

*::before,
*::after {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

    ),
    radial-gradient(circle at 30px 5px, #713e16 30px, #eac284 31px);
}
.middle-layer {
  transform: scale(0.85);
  top: 72px;
  animation: rise-1 2s forwards;
}
@keyframes rise-1 {
  100% {
    top: 7px;
  }
}
.top-layer {
  transform: scale(0.7);
  top: 144px;
  animation: rise-2 2s 2s forwards;
}
@keyframes rise-2 {
  100% {
    top: 26px;
  }
}
.candle {
  background: repeating-linear-gradient(
    45deg,
    #fd3018 0,
    #fd3018 5px,
    #ffa89e 5px,
    #ffa89e 10px
  );
  height: 45px;
  width: 15px;
  position: absolute;
  margin: auto;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  animation: rise-3 1s 4s forwards;
}
@keyframes rise-3 {
  100% {
    bottom: 202px;
  }
}
.candle:after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  height: 16px;
  width: 16px;
  background-color: #ffee54;
  border-radius: 0 50% 50% 50%;
  transform: scale(0) rotate(45deg);
  bottom: 50px;
  left: -0.5px;
  animation: flame 1.5s 5s forwards;
}
@keyframes flame {
  100% {
    transform: scale(1) rotate(45deg);
  }
}
