## Project Folder Structure:
Before you start coding, let us take a look at the project folder structure. We build a project folder called CSS cake animation. Inside this folder, we have two files. These files are index.html and style.css.

## HTML:
We begin with the HTML code. We created you with a class name container. Weep rap all the other elements inside this container.

```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Cake Animation</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container center">
      <div class="candle"></div>
      <div class="layer-1"></div>
      <div class="layer-2"></div>
      <div class="layer-3"></div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
```

## CSS:

Next we shape, style, and position the elements using CSS. You also add animations to various shapes to complete the animation.

```
* {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
  background-color: #f1d632;
}
.container {
