How To Make a Cute Fondant Lamb Cake Topper

This little lamb popping out of a box is such a charming, feel-good topper — soft, delicate, and full of that 'special occasion' sweetness without being overdone.

In the tutorial, you’re guided step by step with templates that take care of sizing and proportions, so you can focus on the modelling and bring the lamb to life with confidence. I also show you how to build the box with neat, thin sides, so it looks refined rather than chunky — the kind of detail that instantly makes the finished piece feel more professional.

The box itself is a great base to reuse in future designs (with a different character popping out), and it’s a lovely project for practising texture and creating a sweet little scene that feels polished once it all comes together.

You will learn how to:

• create a sweet little lamb-in-a-box scene topper with a polished, refined look
• build the topper in clear stages so it holds its shape as you work and while it dries
• make the box with neat, thin sides so it looks crisp and refined rather than chunky
• add a soft, textured effect, small details and gentle shading for a complete, professional finish
• secure the finished topper onto the cake so it stays steady during delivery and display
