Marzipan Babies

Status: Not Marzipan
I'm a big fan of Marzipan. In fact, I've made several pilgrimages to Lübeck, home of Niederegger, makers of the best marzipan in the world (in my opinion). So I was intrigued by these pictures of tiny babies supposedly made out of marzipan. I don't see why one couldn't make lifelike dolls out of marzipan, but that's not the case with these dolls. They're actually made by the artist Camille Allen out of polymer clay or resin, and they're not edible. Still, in the past it was apparently possible to buy jelly babies, as well as chocolate babies. So why not marzipan babies? (via Strong Chemistry)

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?
Posted by Elizabeth Quackenbush  on  Fri Nov 04, 2005  at  10:31 AM
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.

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.
Posted by Charybdis  on  Mon Nov 14, 2005  at  09:42 AM
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by sue_52732  on  Tue Nov 15, 2005  at  01:48 PM
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?
Posted by Donna Terry  on  Tue Nov 15, 2005  at  05:23 PM
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
Posted by Dawn Gemmill  on  Thu Nov 17, 2005  at  11:02 AM
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. 😊
Posted by Kim  on  Sat Dec 10, 2005  at  09:19 AM
omg i want one of these really bad can you purchuse these at stores or just online?
Posted by janiece bennett  on  Thu Dec 22, 2005  at  12:34 PM
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?
Posted by Glamcat  on  Tue Dec 27, 2005  at  06:43 PM
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'.

I would like to know where to purchase the marzipan babies. I think they are adorable and I cant believe how talented this person is making these babies. Thank you
Posted by Lisa Layton  on  Thu Feb 02, 2006  at  06:49 AM
WHERE CAN I BUY SOME!!! Where? Where? Where? okay, now that I probably added to the aggravation of the 2nd person, it is possible to make something of this detail with marzipan. The end
Posted by Guy  on  Thu Feb 09, 2006  at  08:28 AM
I would like tobuy some to keep with my other dolls, not to eat or resale but just to have.

Thank you

I want to know if any one can tell me how to go about buying a marzipan baby.

Her website is http://www.camilleallen.com/camille_allen4.htm, and she is currently selling on Ebay.

AND THEY ARE NOT MARZIPAN!
Posted by Liana  on  Tue Mar 28, 2006  at  11:24 PM
I was sent an e-mail with the pictures of the marzipan babies and was totally impressed. I have a son & daughter each having a baby so it caught my eye even more. I would be interested in getting the web site to order one or two. I realize they are expensive but let me judge if it's too much for me. I have spent the last hour trying to find out how to order and this site was the closest I have come. Please send me some information.

I think that this is awesome! I would love to have one that is custom made for the way that my daughter and my son looked as they were small. My daughter is now 9 mos and my son 7 years! I would just want to freeze frame that time! Could that be done? Make them and keep them for that long?

wow i was very deeply impressed by this lady's talent. she is truly gifted and all u negative people give her some slck just because your not as talented doesn't mean that u can go around judging her for her talents. well hopefully she keeps it up. 😉
Posted by Hannah  on  Fri Aug 04, 2006  at  04:10 PM
these are not marzipan, here website is http://www.camilleallen.com/ and she makes them out of clay! I was going to say marzipan, as nice as it is, does not look that flawless. it's spongy...
but she does sell these for as low as $90 a piece, but as much as $3000.

Posted by maria  on  Sat Nov 25, 2006  at  03:56 PM
Please read the actual entry before replying with "Where can I buy marzipan babies?" Is reading comprehension in adults really that low?!

THEY DO NOT EXIST. THE PICTURES ARE OF CLAY SCULPTED BABIES.

That is said in the entry. If you want to buy them go to her website. Here is the link, for the like 12th time.
