How to Make Cute Fondant Baby Cake Toppers

These cute baby toppers are a sweet choice for baby-themed cakes, first birthdays, and christenings — and they also work beautifully for toddler cakes, since the proportions have a slightly less 'chubby baby' look.

The tutorial guides you through each step with clear shaping instructions, and the printable templates show the progression from a simple ball through the full shaping process to the final form — so you always know what you’re aiming for and everything comes together smoothly.

And the outfits are where you can really have fun: the costumes are easy to customise, so you can switch colours, tweak the details, and even turn them into other animals to suit your theme.

You will learn how to:

• create baby toppers with cute proportions and a smooth, polished finish
• build the figurine so it holds its shape without sagging
• model the faces using clear, repeatable steps for a softly sculpted look
• add the final small details and gentle shading for a complete, refined finish
