47 Beautiful Fondant Cupcake Toppers That Will Leave You In Awe

November 7, 2015 by Food For Net 4 Comments

beautiful fondant cupcake toppers

Without a doubt, cupcakes are as much about appearance as they are about taste. That’s doubly true if you plan to serve the cupcakes at a party or some other type of function. Sure, you can go to the grocery store or a craft store and find something to help jazz your cupcakes up a bit.

But, why not take it to the next level?

The shop owners at Etsy do an amazing job at creating so many different designs, themes and styles for cupcakes. It was actually a bit overwhelming browsing all of the different options. This list is a compilation of some of the best and most original examples of cupcake toppers that I found during my shopping. Oh – and one more thing… These are all fondant toppers. The list would have been at least twice as long if I’d including other topper types too.

Enjoy – and be inspired.

 

Retro 80s Toppers

Harriet // HarrietsHouseofCakes
Harriet // HarrietsHouseofCakes

This is a good option for nostalgia and I especially love the detail on the cassette tape at the back.

 

High Heels Galore

Amber // CupcakeCouture365
Amber // CupcakeCouture365

I found this piece to be particularly impressive. The shoes manage to be detailed and realistic, while they also simply look neat.

 

Edible Music Notes

Deb // DebsSweetToppers
Deb // DebsSweetToppers

Music notes are a great touch for so many different people and occasions, and the varieties in size and shape give you lots of options for making your cupcakes stand out.

 

Perfect for Graduation

Lisa // Jollitops
Lisa // Jollitops

With toppers like this you can make a batch of cupcakes graduation-themed instantly, without any extra work.

 

Animal Butts – Because Why Not?

Nicole // LuluBellCakes
Nicole // LuluBellCakes

This one made me laugh, but only choose them if your audience has a sense of humor – otherwise the cupcakes mightn’t be well-received.

 

Superior Logos

AmoreConfections
AmoreConfections

My first thought is using these for a kid’s birthday party, but actually, the logos would work quite well for comic book geeks too.

 

Pastel Owls and Flowers

Shelly // SoSweetToppers
Shelly // SoSweetToppers

The owls are particularly cute, but personally, I love the little flowers just as much.

 

The Minecraft-Style Option

il_fullxfull.797978401_gtki
PattyCakeBakehouse

Minecraft is still really popular, and these toppers do a great job at capturing the style of the game.

 

These Cute Little Ladybugs

Lucia // LuliSweetShop
Lucia // LuliSweetShop

I could imagine sticking one or two of these in the frosting for a cupcake, and they would certainly make it a bit more interesting.

 

Pretty in Pink Ballerina Tutus and Shoes

Gigi // SweetcreationsbyGigi
Gigi // SweetcreationsbyGigi

I love these for anyone obsessed with ballet. Actually, this particular store had a large number of amazing toppers in many different themes.

 

Harry Potter Stylings

Tisho // OceanViewSweets
Tisho // OceanViewSweets

Like some of the other examples, this is a pretty specialized set of toppers – but anyone into Harry Potter would adore them.

 

Nurse’s Uniforms

Sue // SuesSugarCreations
Sue // SuesSugarCreations

I couldn’t do this one justice in a single image, but there are six different nursing-themed styles to choose from. Any of them would be a good choice as a thank you or for a themed party.

 

Lego Bricks (but not for building!)

Anastasia // SweetCakeByAnastasia
Anastasia // SweetCakeByAnastasia

These toppers are instantly recognizable as Lego bricks and I would personally love them for a Lego-themed party. Wouldn’t you?

 

Angry Birds (and Pigs)

Jessica // SweetTreatsbyJess
Jessica // SweetTreatsbyJess

The detailing on these toppers is perfect and I love how they are instantly recognizable.

 

Edible Angel Wings

Efthemia // MamaMiasCupcakes
Efthemia // MamaMiasCupcakes

These fondant wings are particularly elegant and could work well with just about any theme. The only catch is that some people would probably think that they are white chocolate.

 

Cute Teddy Bears

Bibo // BiboDecosArtToppers
Bibo // BiboDecosArtToppers

Not only are these teddies unique, but you can even specify a flavor to make your cupcakes that bit more original.

 

Beautiful Cherry Blossom Toppers

Joni // SweetPrincesses2
Joni // SweetPrincesses2

Disk toppers like these are typically placed flat on top of a cupcake, and these ones would give a very elegant appearance overall.

 

Mermaid Tails

Robin // WellDressedCupcake
Robin // WellDressedCupcake

If I was using these toppers, I would make my icing exactly like the image – because seriously, that looks so perfect.

 

Great Looking Handbag Toppers

SugarSweetsNTreats
SugarSweetsNTreats

There’s great attention to detail with this one too. In fact, you might need to tell your guests that the bags are actually edible.

 

Pirate Flags, Maps and Heads

Karen // TopItCupcakes
Karen // TopItCupcakes

These toppers scream kid’s pirate party to me. Don’t they just completely suit that theme?

 

Miniature Camera Toppers

DecorATEtoppers

Without a doubt, this would be a fun option for anyone into photography, although members of the smartphone generation mightn’t get it.

Inside Out Characters

Yari // KedulceSugarDesigns
Yari // KedulceSugarDesigns

These five toppers really do look like their film counterparts, which is really impressive.

 

Artist’s Supplies

Edna // FancyTopCupcake
Edna // FancyTopCupcake

I love this option for any artist, although I’d struggle to pick which color options I liked.

 

Mixed Animal Toppers

Liz // LesPopSweets
Liz // LesPopSweets

Lots of animals to choose from here, and these toppers would work well with most themes.

 

Avengers-Themed Option

Carey // SweetCreationByCarey
Carey // SweetCreationByCarey

With how popular the Marvel universe has been lately, I can think of a lot of people who would go nuts over these particular toppers. My personal favorite is the Hulk fist.

 

Princess Crowns

Adri // TopCakeDecors
Adri // TopCakeDecors

I can’t decide what I like the most about these crowns. I’m particularly fond of the detailing and the ‘pearls’, but their overall shape is also pretty neat.

 

Scooby Doo and the Gang

Dhoreen // DsCustomToppers
Dhoreen // DsCustomToppers

Here’s another bit of nostalgia for you, and these detailed toppers really do capture the likenesses of the gang and Scooby perfectly.

 

For The Cooks Out There

Huma // CakeAsCanvas
Huma // CakeAsCanvas

Of the three toppers here, I personally love the rolling pin one, there is just so much detail. But, all of them would work well for a themed party.

 

Green Leaves for Cupcakes

Eleni // LenasCakes
Eleni // LenasCakes

The great thing about toppers like these is that they would work well on cupcakes, but you could also combine them with other toppers or toppings and use them for a cake.

 

Cute Woodland Animals

Vicki // PrettyPartyDetails
Vicki // PrettyPartyDetails

Out of all this list, these ones are probably my favorite, especially because of the detailing and how different the faces look from each other.

 

Fondant Pumpkins

Cakemomster

I can imagine these for Halloween, Thanksgiving or Fall in general, but they would also suit pumpkin cupcakes.

 

Edible Baby Lamb Toppers

Dessertology

These ones are cute, as long as you don’t mind your food staring at you.

 

Many Minions

Megan // MilkandHoneyCakery
Megan // MilkandHoneyCakery

To be honest, I’m surprised at how well minions work on cupcake toppers, and Megan does a great job at making these ones very expressive.

 

Fruit Slices

Blandine // CuteFondant
Blandine // CuteFondant

The slices are simple and cute – and they would work in just about any situation.

A Fiesta Variety Mix

Freya // PastelFiesta
Freya // PastelFiesta

Mexico and cupcakes isn’t a particularly natural association, but still, these toppers are very cool and a lot of fun.

 

Whimsical Alice in Wonderland Toppers

Ana // MyArtisanBakery
Ana // MyArtisanBakery

The bright colors and cartoon-like nature of these toppers works really well and the choice of color combinations is pretty much perfect.

 

Roses and Leaves

Janice // CakeDreamer
Janice // CakeDreamer

Lots of different sizes results in lots of flexibility for using these cute roses and their leaves.

 

Eira // Eiracookies
Eira // Eiracookies

It really amazes me how much detail creators can pull off in these toppers. I mean look at these, they’re instantly recognizable.

 

Naughty Ducks

This set offers ducks in a range of positions, and they really do make for an amusing finish for cupcakes (or cakes, of course).

Here’s one that’s a bit more elegant and very detailed. I love the bows most of all, what about you?

This would be so fun for anyone who loves dogs, especially for people who have a dog from one of the pictured breeds.

Cherry Blossoms

Lisa // SweetThingTopperShop
Lisa // SweetThingTopperShop

I cannot get over how great these look, especially against the chocolate icing.

 

Pretty Little Tutus

Rohenie // Delightfulkakes
Rohenie // Delightfulkakes

These toppers are actually pretty versatile, because they could be tutus, but you could just look at them as ruffled dresses as well.

 

Super Mario Bros Fondant Figurines

Melissa // Vazcakes
Melissa // Vazcakes

These toppers honestly do look exactly like figurines, especially Yoshi, and I’m really impressed by the entire set.

 

Just in Time for Fall

Marisol // SWEETandEDIBLE

This set is very seasonal and there’s so much you could do with it – on cakes or on cupcakes.

 

‘Cat in the Hat’ Hats

Sarah // 1STOPPARTY

If you’ve ever read Dr. Seuss, these should look familiar.

 

Beautiful White and Pink Flowers
