Fondant Princess Cake Topper Tutorial with Templates

This princess-style topper is a lovely choice for girls’ cakes — sweet, timeless, and designed so you can customise it for lots of different themes.

Templates are included to guide proportions and sizing, so everything is already worked out and you can focus on the enjoyable parts. You’ll also find extra hair templates inside the tutorial (three different hairstyles), which makes it easy to create a range of well-known 'storybook princess' looks.

You can also reuse the same base for other girl-in-a-dress toppers — a birthday girl, a party character, or any custom figurine — simply by changing the colours, hair, and small details.

You will learn how to:

• Create a sweet princess-style topper with balanced proportions and a clean, neat finish — a base you can reuse for other girls’ and women’s dress toppers
• Build and assemble the body so it stays straight, sturdy, and holds its shape as you work
• Shape the dress with smooth folds so it looks elegant and well-finished
• Finish with the final touches — hair details and gentle shading — for a complete, professional result
• Secure the finished topper on the cake so it stays stable for delivery and display
