Thanks to ccarolee’s blog, now you can DIY your cake topper.
You should prepare the following material and tool.

Clay I said before. Oh, I forgot, sculpey is also good. Sculpey or Fimo, both are very similar in texture.
use blue clay to shape the penguin bodies… and then bake them at 230 degrees for 30 min as the fimo clay directions say to do ( Tip: before you make you final work, make some experiment with your oven to make sure the temperature is too high or too low)
Brush the white coat with paint and brush
Here are the coats, brush more to make it look more opaque.
Create feet and beaks with another clay.
Make flowers for the bouquet and the one in the girl penguins’s hair
