Fondant Boy with Headphones Cake Topper Tutorial + Templates

The boy in this tutorial is part of The Cute Crew - a collection of simple kid characters designed with interchangeable parts that you can mix and match to suit each cake. The hairstyles and body parts can be swapped or adapted, while the proportions, heads and facial features stay the same. This keeps all the characters consistent in style and easy to combine, helping you create personalised toppers without making the process complicated.

In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through making the boy step by step, with templates to help you get the sizes, shapes and proportions just right. He’s designed to be quick and straightforward to make, whether you’re a beginner or need a topper for a last-minute cake.

I hope he feels like one of those small, happy projects you can simply sit down and enjoy making.

You will learn how to:

• build a sweet boy topper with balanced proportions and a neat, clean finish
• assemble the figure so it’s sturdy and holds its shape
• shape and dry the headphones so the band stays neatly raised above the head without collapsing
• create the simple hairstyle and small details that give the character his personality
• assemble and attach the topper so it stays stable during delivery and display
