How To Make a Cute Fondant Unicorn Cake Topper

Unicorns are one of those cake themes that never seem to fade — always requested, always loved. This baby unicorn topper was designed with that in mind: simple, sweet, and timeless, with soft features and gentle details that sit beautifully on a cake.

The tutorial guides you through the process step by step, with printable templates included to support proportions and shapes from the start. Beginning with simple forms, you’ll shape each part gradually, enjoying a steady, unrushed making process as the character comes together.

The templates can also be adapted to create a horse figurine by changing the colours and leaving out the horn, making this tutorial a versatile addition to your collection. Whether you’re making it for a special cake or simply because unicorns are always a joy to create, this is a project that feels easy to settle into and genuinely satisfying to make.

You will learn how to:

• create a sweet baby unicorn topper with a smooth, clean finish (a base design you can adapt into other horse-like characters)

• apply metallic dust to create a smooth golden finish with no streaks

• add the delicate details that bring the character to life and keep the look soft and refined

• assemble everything so it holds its shape and sits securely on the cake
