Marzipan Babies ?



2 years ago, when I first looked at these pictures, I was so shocked or rather impressed by these cute little things.  Really amazing and  unbelievable ! They look so real to me.


Initially it was widespread to be made of Marzipan (an almond and sugar paste used to ice cakes and other pastries or sculpted into a variety of shapes to be eaten as candy or used as cake decorations). yeee~ human babies are not something we usually consider to be a visually appealing form for edibles.



Fortunately, at a later stage, it has been clarified that they are not made of marzipan, nor are they edible.  They are 2- to 5-inch sculptures, created by artist Camille Allen,  made from Prosculpt polymer clay and mohair.

Don't you think they are cute and adorable?
