Cake decorating tutorials – in particular the fondant sculpting – seem to be perfect for polymer clay work. And, I have to say, of the very few cake toppers I’ve done I’ve done penguins TWICE. And they would have benefited from this tutorial. If you’re using oven bake polymer clay, follow the brands directions for bake time. If your topper is more than an inch thick at any point, consider using tightly wadded foil for the innards to cut down on curing time and weight.
Want to make this into a wedding cake topper? Or even the topper for your wedding related event? Add the relevant accessories: a pair of glasses, someones favourite book, a tie or tattoo. I’ve done gag cake toppers for many of the people I made sculpted cake toppers for and they were more fun because the pressure was gone. You could add personality, favourite accessories and keep it simple and fun.
