About this tutorial

This hedgehog topper has a really lovely, soft look — and it’s perfect for woodland cakes when you want one main figurine as the centrepiece.

I’ll guide you through it step by step, and the templates make the sizing and proportions really easy. You’ll build the body and face first, in simple stages, and then move on to adding the textured “spines” to get that fluffy hedgehog finish.

It’s a great tutorial if you want to practise texture and finish — and end up with a topper that feels detailed and complete without being overwhelming to make.

What you'll learn

You will learn how to:

  • create a sweet hedgehog topper with balanced proportions and a soft, refined look
  • build the body so it holds its shape without sagging
  • model the face using simple, repeatable steps
  • add the textured ‘spines’ for that spiky hedgehog look, and create finer, softer fur-like texture on the body and face
  • refine the details and add gentle shading so the topper looks complete and professional
  • secure the topper on the cake so it stays stable during delivery and display
