How To Make a Cute Fondant Princess Cake Topper

This princess topper is a lovely choice when you want a larger figurine that really becomes the centrepiece of the cake — not a tiny figure tucked onto the edge of a tier, but a main feature that immediately draws the eye.

The tutorial guides you step by step with templates to help with sizing and proportions, so you can build the figure confidently and keep everything looking balanced. The face has that soft, modelled look, but it’s created in a way that feels manageable and repeatable.

And it’s easy to adapt for other princess themes too: change the dress colours and details, adjust the hairstyle, and vary the skin tone and finishing touches to match the character (or your client’s brief).

You will learn how to:

• create a princess cake topper with balanced proportions and a polished, refined look
• build the figurine in clear stages so it holds its shape as you work and while it dries
• model the face using simple, repeatable steps for a soft, sculpted look
• shape the dress with smooth folds and clean edges so it looks elegant and well-structured
• add the small details and gentle shading for a complete, professional result
• anchor the finished topper securely so it stays steady during delivery and display
