Marzipan Baby

[Gary DiPietroSr]

How's this for a mother's day cake decoration...made out of almond paste.





So we thought, until Mookie cleared it up!

When Mom goes to Germany, she brings home some Marzipan Kartofeln (Potato's) they look just like small potato's. Not as real as that baby looks, but they sure taste good.

Tom, that sure sounds better than eating this decoration:lol::lol:

Wow! That's impressive. I love the marzipan fruit my relatives send from Holland.

I showed Theresa that picture and she said there was no way she could have eaten it because it looks so real.

Haha I'd love to have that for some April Fools jokes.

That looks to be made of Prosculpt polymer clay and mohair vs. Marzipan

What iz dat, marzipan fuzz ??????????



:huh:

Don't worry about eating it!



From Snopes.com:

...the items pictured above are not made of marzipan, nor are they edible. They're 2- to 5-inch sculptures created by artist Camille Allen (including some entries from her Shell Baby line of miniatures), and they're made from Prosculpt polymer clay and mohair. Definitely not the kind of thing most of us would find palatable.

Mookie, thanks for clearing that up. I'll have to email that back to my sender. Good ole snopes!

I wanted to know more about it and did a Google search ("marzipan baby").

The Snopes website was the first result!
