Cute Kids Set (3 Variations) — Tutorial + Templates

This Cute Kids template set is one of my most popular for a reason — it’s a simple, charming style that always gets a smile, and it’s incredibly easy to customise.

You can use the same set to create lots of different little people toppers: change the hairstyle, skin tone, outfits, and small details, and you’ll have a new character each time. I’ve made so many variations from it, and it works beautifully for kids’ birthdays and all sorts of themes.

The templates also take care of sizing and proportions, so you can build the figures quickly and keep the look consistent. It’s a really useful set to keep in your sugar modelling kit.

You will learn how to:

• Create three sweet little people toppers with consistent proportions and a clean, smooth finish (the templates make it easy to create many more variations)
• Build and assemble the figurines so they hold their shape without sagging as you work
• Add simple facial features neatly and evenly, so every face looks consistent
• Create curly hair, tiny glasses, and other small finishing touches for a more refined result
• Secure the finished toppers on the cake so they stay stable for delivery and display
