About this tutorial
Capybaras have such simple, funny, chubby little shapes — perfect for turning into a simple, easy-to-make cake topper.
In this tutorial, I’ll take you through the process of making this cute little one step by step. The templates help with the sizes, shapes and proportions as you go, so you can keep checking your pieces against them instead of having to guess.
You can also get quite a bit of use out of this set of templates. With a few changes to the details, the same basic shapes could be used to make a hamster, guinea pig or even a beaver.
Whether you’re making him for a customer or simply because you feel like making something cute, I hope you enjoy bringing this little guy to life.
