How to Make a Cute Fondant Fairy Cake Topper

This little fairy topper is designed for soft, magical cakes — a timeless theme for girls’ birthdays, woodland parties, and anything with a touch of sparkle.

You’ll create a sweet character with clean shapes, balanced proportions, and delicate details that look polished in real life and in photos. And once you’ve made one, it’s easy to personalise for different orders: change the dress colour, swap the hairstyle, add small outfit details, or switch the star/wand to suit the cake theme — while keeping the same reliable base.

The tutorial is broken into clear steps, with printable templates included to guide sizing and shapes, so you can work with confidence and focus on shaping, refining the details, and bringing your fairy to life.

You will learn how to:

• Create a cute fairy topper with well-balanced proportions and a clean, neat finish
• Build and assemble the body and head so the figure holds its shape and stays sturdy
• Attach the wings so they keep their form and stay securely in place
• Add the dress and small details with tidy edges and neat joins for a more professional result
• Secure the finished figurine on the cake so it stays stable for delivery and display
