How to Make a Fondant Superhero Cake Topper

This superhero-style cake topper might look simple at first glance, but these templates save a lot of time on popular superhero-themed cakes. They can be adapted into many different hero characters — and if you build a topper like this from scratch, it often takes trial and error to get the proportions right and the finish clean.

The templates guide sizing, shaping, and proportions for each part, so you can work faster and with confidence — especially helpful for repeat orders. Simply change the colours, symbols, mask details, and small accessories to create different comic-book hero looks.

A solid, time-saving template set to keep in your sugar modelling kit.

You will learn how to:

• Create a superhero topper with clean proportions and a bold, graphic finish (the templates also let you create other popular superhero characters)
• Build a solid body base that stays straight and holds its shape as you work
• Make smooth, fitted costume pieces with tidy joins, so everything looks sharp and intentional
• Shape a cape with soft, natural folds so it holds its form and looks well-finished
• Secure the finished topper on the cake so it stays safe for delivery and display
