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)

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

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

I would like tobuy some to keep with my other dolls, not to eat or resale but just to have.

Thank you

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

AND THEY ARE NOT MARZIPAN!

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. 😉

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.

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.

I found out they are available from http://www.camilleallen.com
Posted by Julia  on  Thu Sep 06, 2007  at  05:14 PM
To be quite honest, I actually looked up these images for a Childhood and Culture paper. While at first glance I will admit that I found the babies very cute and sweet. At second glance, however, I was dismayed to realize that someone is commercializing the image of infants and selling these little figurines, which cheapens the concept of children and childhoos=d in totality. Of course everyone likes to look at an adorable sleeping baby, BUT IT IS THE BABY AS A WHOLE THAT IS PRECIOUS,NOT JUST AS A HEDONISITC IMAGE FOR CONSUMERISTIC AMERICA TO ENJOY!

I just Love these little babies! I am a doll collector, and I would really like to know how or where they can be purchased? If anyone knows, PLEASE let me know how. Thanks.

These are created with clay and there are NUMEROUS artists devoting many hours to bringing them to life they can be found all over the www and in all price ranges many names have been given to these creations OOAK aka one of a kind art dolls is a good start if your Google searching Ebay has many artists work and Jack Johnston is a maker of one of the most popular clays being used to create them Prosculpt is the name for his product
Posted by MiniDollFan  on  Mon Dec 31, 2007  at  11:23 AM
It's amazing that people could be so ignorant to think that Camille is the only one out there making OOAKs (One Of A Kind clay babies)! I think it's just awful how she has the duped the world and suckered them into thinking she is something special and she is some great innovator as if she is the only OOAK Artist in the world! Go to eBay...do a search for OOAK Baby and you will find MANY artists that are just as talented if not BETTER than her and don't expect to get paid thousands of dollars for one sculpt! Personally I am sick of hearing about Camille and her 'Marzinpan' babies. I own an extensive collection of OOAK clay babies by so many different talented Artists and have NO desire to own one of Camille's over-rated and over priced babies!
Posted by Don't Be Fooled  on  Mon Dec 31, 2007  at  01:49 PM
Bravo to the other Artists who are now Speaking out!!!
Although these babies are Sweet but why give this one Artist all the credit???
As most of us others who create with polymer clay (these babies pictured are NOT Marzipan)!!we are the first to say we surfed Ebay saw the Sweet Babies there by OTHER Artists and wanted to create them as well..We don't take all the credit as the Only one.But Great Marketing Plan!!
She is NOT the Only one and Not the first or last to create these babies go to Ebay look up OOAK Babies.Just because of the Marzipan talk this has made her a fortune..I am sorry i think there are just as cute babies out there Selling Cheaper but same Quality! Plus you can buy them dressed if you choose and poseable.
