Marzipan Babies

Thought you'd be as fascinated with these as I was. These are made with marzipan.... really unbelievable! While some of the faces may look "crafted" rather than "real", every detail is amazing, and the rest looks VERY real. Be blessed and enjoy the talent given one person by God.

Definition of Marzipan

almond paste: a sweet paste made of ground almonds and sugar, often with egg whites or yolks, used as a layer in cakes or molded into ornamental shapes.

These are wonderful Christie!

I make them for the top of christening cakes but they aren't as life-like as these, you'd almost expect them to wake up!

cwohio · 10-23-2005, 07:04 AM

i've only ever seen marzipan made into vegetables but these just blew my mind.

susane1408 · 10-23-2005, 07:08 AM

I use it a lot when I'm designing cakes, will have to see if I've still got some photo's

**Ann** · 10-23-2005, 07:15 AM

That's amazing...they are so real looking.

Hugs

cwohio · 10-23-2005, 07:15 AM

that would be wonderful to see! I used to love to decorate cakes but it became a chore instead of a joy. never did any marzipan decs tho!

splendra · 10-23-2005, 07:24 AM

I want one....

equus · 10-23-2005, 08:25 AM

But disturbingly they are edible.....

I used to bite the heads off jelly babies - thankfully I hate marzipan!!

Could anyone bite into one??

Judging by the size, I could probably stuff two or three at a time.
Chocolate sauce would be nice.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

susane1408 · 10-23-2005, 09:31 AM

Found some photo's Christie! they are old ones and not too good. I forget to take photos of my cakes before they are delivered.

Dan you are an ogre! couldn't imagine eating one of those in Christies pics!

equus · 10-23-2005, 11:15 AM

Wow!! Susane - they're beautiful!! But I have to ask - do people avoid putting the knife through them??

I dare you to make one with red insides......

*Eq lets out an evil cackle...*

susane1408 · 10-23-2005, 11:22 AM

See the middle one? got the baby's face looking really sweet and peaceful; along came the 5yr old sister of the baby represented on the cake....tore off the head ( of the cake baby!!) and stuffed it in her mouth! what would Freud say?

cwohio · 10-23-2005, 11:51 AM

oh susane - they ARE works of art! thank you for sharing! is that fondant you put over the whole cake?

dan, dan, dan - what ARE we going to do with you! :nono:

susane1408 · 10-23-2005, 12:12 PM

It's made with icing sugar and liquid glucose, I guess you could call it fondant?
I make it myself though I think you can buy something similar.

Dan certainly needs something doing with him!

OurBigSecret · 10-23-2005, 08:46 PM

Wow! Freaky!

My daughter and I are just watching a show on the Food Network about Marzipan Halloween cakes and we were just talking about it when I opened this thread up. I had to call her over and show her! For a second she thought the hand was marzipan and that the babies were real! They are so life-like it's scary.
Amazing!

dhmdog · 10-23-2005, 11:04 PM

wow that is amazing! they look like Anne Geddes (sp) babies

pmaslan · 10-24-2005, 02:37 PM

what's the hair made of???? Kind of looks like it would stick in your teeth after you bit the head off.....Oh Patty you are a sick sick puppy....lol

pmaslan · 10-24-2005, 02:38 PM

Susane....your cakes are beautiful, you are very talented

susane1408 · 10-24-2005, 03:42 PM

Bless you Patty for saying that, I love creating things.

Dan · 10-24-2005, 03:44 PM

They do look scrumptious

susane1408 · 10-24-2005, 03:49 PM

How can you make such an innocent statement seem sooo bad!?
