A BABY GIRL FOR AMANDA

I made a mold for the babie's head, arms and legs(from water, gelatin & sugar, I got the recipe from the forum but forgot from who?). Made white chocolate flesh color and poured head, arms & legs. Body is carved from white cake, covered with buttercream then fondant. Used icing colors and vodka to paint hair and face. Braclett is non-edible. The cake she sits on is white cake with a combo berry filling, buttercream & fondant. Flowers are fondant.

Your baby looks great. Do you have the exact recipe and procedures for making the molds?

This is beautiful!! Great work. How long did this take you to complete?

The mold took one day to make. The chocolate head, arms & legs took another day to make and two more to clean seams and paint with icing colors. Flowers, headband and clothes another day(I work full time so when I say a day it means evenings 7-11 p.m.) Baked cake and assembled in 4 hours.
