How To Make a Fondant Viking Cake Topper

This 'Cheerful Viking' topper is one of those designs that’s just genuinely enjoyable to make — it has loads of character, and it’s really satisfying to see it come together.

You’ll get to play with lots of different textures and details (the braid and beard, the helmet, the fluffy vest, the boots, the little belt elements, and the hammer), so it’s a great one if you want to practise the kind of finishing touches that make a figurine look more detailed and refined.

Templates are included to keep sizing, shaping, and proportions under control, so you can focus on the fun part — bringing this character to life — without second-guessing the steps or structure.

You will learn how to:

• create a cheerful Viking topper with bold proportions and a clean, polished finish
• build the body and head so the figurine stays sturdy and holds its shape, even with a top-heavy design
• model the face using simple, repeatable steps
• create the silver Viking helmet and small accessories with crisp edges and tidy joins
• add the textured beard braid, the fluffy vest and boots for a detailed, refined look
• attach the finished topper securely so it stays steady on the cake during delivery and display
