How to Make a Fondant Teddy Bear Cake Topper

I’m happy to share this classic teddy bear cake topper tutorial with you.

It struck me recently that while I’d created teddy bears in many playful variations, the most classic version was still missing — a simple sitting teddy bear. After receiving many requests for it, adding this design felt like a natural next step for the collection.

This tutorial is designed to feel clear and reassuring, whether you’re creating toppers regularly or simply enjoying a quiet creative project. Printable templates are included to guide proportions and shapes, helping you build the teddy with balance and consistency from the very first step.

Because of its simple, familiar design, this teddy works beautifully for many occasions — birthdays, baby showers, Valentine’s Day, and other celebrations where something sweet and timeless feels just right.

You will learn how to:

• create a classic sitting teddy bear topper with a clean, polished finish

• build smooth, balanced shapes so the bear looks cute and proportional

• add the facial features for a sweet, gentle expression

• make a crisp bow and small details that instantly elevate the finished look

• assemble everything so it holds its shape and looks beautifully finished
