Marzipan Babies

sweet jesus, thats what i call too much free time. Still, it is some pretty amazing art, sculpture, model,whatever the hell theyre considered

I once donated a couple of bucks to an anti-abortion group that had a table in a mall because they were selling small plastic fetuses. They looked a LOT like the picture above.

My then-wife was VERY pissed at me for contributing to an anti-abortion group. Hey, I just wanted the little dolls!

lOL...They are cute. Reminiscent of Ann Geddes artwork. If Jocelynn didn't still put anything and everything in her mouth, I'd look into finding some of her artwork to have. Those are just so ADORABLE.

UGH! How revolting!

What do you mean "in the past"? Jelly Babies are still available from the original manufacturer. This is the official webpage for them.

I guess you can make anything out of marzipan.
And Niederegger's is definitely the best in the world. I once visited their factory in Lubeck. The Niederegger marzipan is also sold in other cities of northern Germany, though.

Mmmmmm, delicious babies.

I would probably buy the marzipan babies for the shock factor of eating such realistic looking ones in front of people....

Oooh.. even better, full-sized realistic marzipan babies..

Just walk down the street, munching away on its head..

Kinda off topic, but my husband's family is Norwegian, and every year at Christmas they have a marzipan pig. You win it by finding an almond in the rice pudding. One year I won it, and managed to freak out Erik's niece by "sacrificing" the pig by cutting it's head off, and saying "kill the piggy". I guess I have a slightly sick sense of humour. 😊

Would the little marzipan babies be filled with raspberry jam and have little hard candy bones?

Winona sez:

Slightly???

What's marzipan?

Marzipan is sweetened almond paste. It's used to make fanicful confections, usually little fruits and vegetables.

I want to know what the hair is made out of, before I pop one of those babies in my mouth.

Actually, those are made of polymer clay, not marzipan. You can do a search for this story on snopes.com.

argh this is horrible, its a case of somebody making something they think will be cute and ends up just disturbing... little tiny foetus babies oooh fun.. and your supposed to eat them??? that cant be good for sanity sitting around munching on your foetus candy

Katey and joeodd, read the bloomin' text!
They're made out of polymer resin (plastic), not marzipan!

That leaves open the question of why somebody would want to make such a thing, of course.

Somebody said what are they for? They'd be cute in a doll house, but I'd want diapers on them. I had thought they'd be nice favors at a baby shower, but I just cruised the site, and the little fellows are VERY expensive. All of them are sold out, and you have to be put on a mailing list to be informed of the next bunch for sale. The creator must be getting rich!

Yes, they would be adorable scaled to a dollhouse, along with other fmaily members...but if the artist prices even the baby so high, the rest of the family would be truly prohibitive! As to why, she created them, well, dollmakers have been trying to create babydolls with more and more lifelike features for a long time...She is truly an artist, I'd say. And in answer to one of the earlier posts, why should a miniature baby be gross, when we love to give our kids small stuffed animals? Biting the head off one, well, yes, that ranks up there in my gross-o-meter

considering these are not just "sugar babies" but done in a poly-resin,they are a remarkable piece of artwork - their lifelike appearance is makes a mother's heart skip a beat! The rest of you with negative comments, well - perhaps you're too absorbed in your own selves to see how emotionally infectious they really are.

id love to use this as a baby shower favor...what's the website to where i can get these?

I would like to know where I can purchase these babies, they are beautiful.

Glad to know this. Receieved the e-mail at work today about the marzipan babies and I wanted to know where to buy them. Had no clue they were made of resin. They're still amazing!

Amen to Martha Brooks.

Here's the website for the CLAY babies (not fetuses) but they range from $300 to $1,000 so probably not good baby shower favors.

Hi
I got the pictures by mail from a friend in USA, she wrote they were made of marzipan, I then searched the web and foudn out they were nbot, but they are cute I think

I am interested in your dolls please send info.

I think that the Marzipan Babies are the most beautiful work of Arts I have ever seen. I would like to purchase the babies and would like to know how much they are and how I can buy some of these beautiful babies.
Please get back to me as soon as possible. I would really like to purchase them.
Thank you,
Sharon Towle

"...but they range from $300 to $1,000 so probably not good baby shower favors."

Not to worry. If they catch on, I'm sure some cheap knock-offs will appear before long. Coming soon to a dollar store near you ...

ive never seen something so little with so much detail. The babies are amazing. The first time l seen one knew l had to have one. I cant believe how real they look. It takes alot of time and effort, they are worth it. I cant say how great they are.

Hiya, could you please send me the address of where i can buy these babies as i think they are adorable

Thanks

Lindsey

Can you buy these babies?? If so how?

I think these are the cutest things I have ever seen... sugar or plastic... whatever! I would love to have all of them!! TOO CUTE!

hey, I have been making these polymer babies, only mine have wings and yes I make them for dollhouses, but when somebody sent me an e-mail with the babies and said they were made out of sugar, I went straight to my search and this site is what came up. Thank god for this site, I wouldve been trying to make new babies outta some almond paste just to see...LOL

Would like to know where to purchase Marsipan Babies?

I've got an idea. Why don't all you people who want to purchase some of these actually LOOK AT HER FREAKING WEBSITE instead of posting useless comments here.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

because, some twit sent somebody a email about what these are made of and this is a conversation about what they really are, and trust me, more then one website will contain polymer babies and they arent that hard to make....hey....wait,,,,,,you...noooo,,,,you werent the one that started that sugar baby email now were you, oh wait , that was a twit, lol.
b.

I think it is a remarkabe art idea at it represent something beautiful babies.it is unique . why do people try to always make something bad out of something good.these people who drag abortion into it .why cant somethings be good.

Putting the real Jelly Babies in the past tense nearly caused me to have a second heart attack. What on earth was I going to scoff while waiting in the car for my wife while she checks every item in the antique shops on our next trip to England?
Thankyou thankyou John Wilson and Cadbury.

Is there a web site where I can buy marzipan babies? Also, where can I find items to buy and instructions to make my own. Thanks for all info.
Thanks, Sue

I would like to know where I can purchase these Marzipan Babies? anyone that would be able to help me out. 😉

Oh My God!!!! This is going to be another of those stupid threads where people keep posting the same thing over and over again because they're too stupid to bother reading what came before them.

Shoot me now.

Why such an attitude? As they say if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all.I was also taught there is no stupid question.Tis the season to be jolly!!! Try it! I would have read more if I was allowed, couldn't get anything to come up at the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You were taught wrong then. It's just incredibly aggravating to have all these people posting the same things over and over because they can't be bothered to read the posts. In time there will be hundreds of duplicate requests out here, each one looking like a fool. We've seen it before.

I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE SOME OF THE BABIE PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN DO THIS?

I just love the marzipan babies. I am a labor and delivery nurse and collect "Baby ornaments" such as tthis. They are amazing, they lookso much like some of the premature infants we deliver. I s there a website where they can be purchased? Please advise. Thank you. Dawn Gemmill

Ebay has babies made from polymer clay. Some look very nice and some not so great. You just have to pick and choose, but the ones I've seen are EXTREMELY well priced... very inexpensive. I don't think a lot of them realize they could get more than they're asking. 😊

omg i want one of these really bad can you purchuse these at stores or just online?

Personally, I find them a bit disturbing. I found them extremely disturbing when I thought they were edible and slighly less to find out they were art. However, for some reason I don't find them the least bit "cute". I'm not sure why. It just seems sick to me for some reason. I looked at her web site and I just couldn't help but think that the babies with their eyes closed all looked dead to me. Like in the 1800's when people used to photograph the dead.
Did anyone else have this reaction or does everyone want to own one of these things?

Hey Glamcat, long time no see. I agree with you, these images bother me alot. I can't get the image of people just popping them in their mouths out of my mind. It seems odd that people would find these 'cute'.
