When it comes to baking, croissants are one of the most difficult pastries to master. But the same isn't true of drawing. Check out this easy, step-by-step croissant drawing guide.

Croissants are flaky, layered pastries, so you'll use a lot of overlapping lines. They are curved to resemble a crescent moon or the letter "C." In fact, its name refers to its crescent shape.

Did you know? In France, some croissants are made with real butter and some are made with margarine. Some bakers bend the margarine croissants but keep the all-butter croissants straight so customers can tell the difference.

Some croissants are filled with sweet or savory fillings. Want to dress up your croissant? Add this cartoon cheese drawing. Sweeten the deal with a hot cocoa drawing or a coffee cup drawing. You might even learn how to draw a cup of tea. Hot beverages and croissants go great together!
