How to Make a Cute Fondant Boy Cake Topper

This template set is one of those fun, flexible bases you can do a lot with. The proportions are cute and a little chubby, so it works not only for boys, but also for quirky characters.

In the tutorial, I show three finished examples — and from there, you can make endless variations by switching colours, changing outfits, and playing with hairstyles and accessories.

And if you feel like getting really creative, you can even keep the body and swap the head completely (animal or plant). I’ve done this myself — for example with a cactus cowboy character. The templates keep sizing and proportions consistent, and you get to enjoy the styling part.

You will learn how to:

• make three cute, chubby boy topper variations with balanced proportions and a polished look (you can use the same template set to create many other characters)
• form the parts and assemble the figurine so it holds its shape as you work
• create crisp edges and tidy joins for a professional result
• add small details and subtle shading for that refined look
• attach the topper securely to the cake so it stays stable during delivery and display
