How to Make a Cute Fondant Tiger Cake Topper

This sweet tiger topper is a fun choice for kids’ birthday cakes and animal-themed designs — a modern, clean-style character with simple shapes and cute details.

Printable templates help with proportions and sizing, so everything stays consistent as you shape the parts and build the cake topper. Nothing is left to guess.

The templates can also be used for other simple standing animals by changing a few details — a handy extra if you’d like more variety from the same core shape.

You will learn how to:

• Make a modern, clean-style tiger topper with balanced proportions and a neat finish (the same base works beautifully for other standing animal toppers)
• Build and assemble the body so it stays sturdy and holds its shape as you work
• Create the face panel and stripes with clean edges and a smooth finish
• Add the small details and subtle shading neatly for a more refined result
• Secure the finished topper on the cake so it stays stable for delivery and display
