Open your image in AD.  Then pick an area, such as the medium brown side of the cup.  Using the pen tool put a node in the 3 corners, and then close the shape.  Switch to the node tool pushing and pulling the paths to match the actual shape.  Use the color sampler to sample the brown color and fill the shape.  Turn off the stroke.  Do this for each shape.

I believe the OP only has the iPad apps and has posted to the wrong forum section, but the procedure is the same.

Image is a little bit small for autotracing, thus certain parts will not be detected fully. But here is a generated one.

How do I do text in the form like this using my iPad? I can’t figure it out.

Power Duplicate (see the online help how to use that function) with a little offset your written artistic text (black thicker stroke, no fill yet), then afterwards color (gradient fill etc.) every of the stacked text layers the way you want.

Alternatively, apply a fill straight away and change it each time before you duplicate.

After some search back to older postings I believe @jmwellborn might be right with her (now disappeared) previous comment.
