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) |

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!

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.
